The ship is not actually on the map, its past the boundaries, when i start up CAW its not in the distance and I gota select it from render panel in order for it to actually appear, as for EIG I'm not sure, should I have the ship in the boundaries? or is it fine past them?
its also a CC item so is it caused by that i wonder?

It's fine past the boundaries.
Here is the rough area of the edge

*And to see the boundary lines for each rendering chunk- it's under View/Show Chunk lines (or something like that) - click it.
I place stuff off the map all the time. You are not confined to ships on the water, either. For example, I have a flight of Mark I Colonial Vipers approaching my city:
By the way, the islands and land you see in the distance are just objects as well.
In fact, I placed Alcatraz Island off of the map!
You can put castles, farms, skyscrapers, hills, islands off the map, and it creates the illusion of a much larger world. Most of my custom distant terrain is located off of the map.
You can create all sorts of special effects like this. For example, I have a scale model of the Golden Gate Bridge, which barely starts on the map, but goes off to some land in the distance:
One of the things about the game, is that unless you modify some of your settings, objects start disappearing as they get farther away. For example, I typicallly cannot see objects placed on the opposite side of my world. They just fade into the distance.
((love your work, All you CC has been very usefull tome))
Thanks, But It just worrys me that even if I go up to the exact location of my ship, I can't see it unless I render it. Then Again I checked in EIG and I had to fly to the edge of the map to see it because it was far, But thats probably just my computer. Ohh well, as long as I can see it in CAW by a method of Selecting it, then take pictures. I'm fine. Because ever since the sim city 5 trailor, That corgo ship made everything worth seeing.
You can't post images here until you reach a certain post count. Maybe you could reply to a few threads here and there, then come back and try again or post your screenshots somewhere else (like Photobucket or imgur), then drop a link to us here.
