I want to work on a surface vehicle in the gazebo environment. I've looked at various resources on this topic, but haven't been able to find a working example file for the system I'm using. In the sources I found, the vehicle sinks into the water. I also did research to get it on the water, but I couldn't get any results. My system information is as follows. Is there a source for my system information where I can work on the surface vehicle? Or do I need to change the version?
System info:
- Ubuntu 20.04
- ROS Noetic Distribution
- Gazebo 11
I added ocean and boat model to Gazebo environment. To keep the boat afloat, I looked at this resource:

I added the codes in this resource to the boat.sdf file. But the boat did not rise above the water.
