Hi!

Check if your boat is designed in the right units (m), regarding the textures, if you have used custom textures, the corresponding image files should be copied in the boat folder.

Cheers!

make sure in the vehicle.cfg file that the mass (displacement) measured in kgs is consistent with the dimensions of the vessel (body_area, boat_length, boat_alt)

Hi i think your texture issue is to do with fliped blackface in SketchUp , if you use monochrome view you will see them..
