Ship won't move with slow speed but with high

Hello Scripters,

I have a BoatData module that stores all the data for my boats (I am currently using only one boat). When I change that boat’s speed to 2500, my boat accelerates like crazy. However, if I want it to only be 25, my boat doesn’t move at all. I’ve added print statements, and all the values are correct.

I’m assuming the calculations are causing issues because the ThrottleFloat can sometimes be -1. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Here is the code:

local function configureBoat(possibleBoat)
	if possibleBoat:IsA("Model") then
		local Engine = possibleBoat:FindFirstChild("Engine")
		local SForce = possibleBoat:FindFirstChild("Steer")
		local DSeat = possibleBoat:FindFirstChild("VehicleSeat")
		local Base = possibleBoat:FindFirstChild("Base")

		local boatName = possibleBoat.RealName.Value
		local boatInfo = BoatData[boatName]
		
		if not boatInfo then
			warn("Vehicle data not found for car:", boatName)
			return
		end
		

		if boatInfo then
			local speed = boatInfo["Speed"]
			local steerSpeed = boatInfo["Steer"]
			local baseDensity = boatInfo["Density"]

			if Engine and SForce and DSeat and Base then
				Base.CustomPhysicalProperties = PhysicalProperties.new(baseDensity, 0, 0)

				
				local bodyThrust = Engine:FindFirstChild("BodyThrust") or Instance.new("BodyThrust", Engine)
				bodyThrust.Force = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)

				
				DSeat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ThrottleFloat"):Connect(function()
					bodyThrust.Force = Vector3.new(0, 0, speed * DSeat.ThrottleFloat)
				end)

				DSeat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("SteerFloat"):Connect(function()
					SForce.BodyAngularVelocity.AngularVelocity = Vector3.new(0, -steerSpeed * DSeat.SteerFloat, 0)
				end)
			end
		end
	end
end
