Would be glad to give you a hand.

Thanks, but I don't think it's necessary to make it that complex. This is just eye-candy stuff, and as long as it stays above the water I'm happy with it. But make whatever you feel like with it

I built it with an "underwater hull" as if it was a proper ship, so it wasn't floating on the surface with no foundations. I could make it more irregular to mimic a proper island, but it would increase the number of polygons for very little gain.

Oh, it's a very simple 3D model. I'm sure many people in this community could do something similar. I made a search before starting the project, but couldn't find anything other than USS Drum so I decided to try it.

Yours looks WAY better than mine... lol - but if no one knew what it looked like, they'd never know the difference. Now you have ruined that...  - but "yes", count me in too, if you need anything!

Still need to model and add the crane, re-texture the underwater parts and find out what should I do to fix the weird look in the textures, but if you want a test version with the current files:

I've tested it under the stock game, and also with GFO mod.
