Im guessing the fidelity of your unions is causing bouyancy issues? Make sure your collision fidelity of the three unions are either hull or precise. If this still doesnt help, there are workarounds to getting the boat to float, but you either need to provide video of your issue, or provide the boat file, to take a closer look.

You have a small boat carrying a Player that has Mass. I’ve built boats that are 3 times that size, and players moving around on them still cause issues.

Try making the boat Unions less dense, and Weld a Part that’s more dense (higher than the Density of water which is 1) under it, similar to a real boat keel. You can make the Keel Transparent so it isn’t seen. If you Weld it about 10 studs below the boat it will also help to flip the boat upright if it goes upside down.

Fine tune the size of the keel and the Density of all the components until you’re happy with it.
