Since boats are very easy to do (if you have done a car, you will notice boats are much less work), so for this lesson to contain anything usefull, I have decided to build a gunturret on the boat. Such gun setup is quite useful and is used on all addons that have some sort of fixed machinegun (helicopter gunships, fixed gun positions, etc).
