The boats patch is here and live in the default branch! I've added two buildings where you can get them: A marina and a hovercraft shop. Both of these are Commercial buildings that sell Vehicles, so they won't compete with existing buildings on your map.
The Marina, a spawn place for Boats
Hovercraft Shop, a spawn place for Hovercrafts I've also added canals that can be built from the roads menu. These will have crash barriers automatically placed if adjacent to a road lot, otherwise they will have a simple concrete retaining wall. You can use these to make water paths to your bases (so you can boat into/out of your base), or perhaps to make an artificial river network. Its up to you!
Finally I've reduced the cost of bulldozing water and underground stuff. VERSION: 1.0.26 - 21/12/2017 ================ - [Feature] - Added a Marina building! This spawns boats, and has a NPC where you can buy them - [Feature] - Added a Hovercraft shop! This spawns hovercrafts, and has a NPC where you can buy them.

If a canal is touching this lot then a concrete barrier will NOT be created.
