Boat class!

Now i was thinking in using hoverclass and modifying it i know someone did it before, but then to actually put a working boat with some animation i was thinking of integrating the wheeled code also, so the engine would turn when(like the wheel left to right) the user press right or left.
Do you thing this might be viable!
Or if anyone has worked on a boat can they point or show me some directions if i'm going the right way!
