How to pick up a vehicle?

Silly Newbie question... Is there a way to pick a vehicle up once it's been placed? I have a rowboat, and the motorbike. For the motorbike I found you can drive it into deep water to have it convert to item form.

I'm just hoping there is something I am missing so I can pick it up without having to drop into the water...

Side note, if you paint a vehicle and then pick it up will the paint color stay?

Just hit it with any weapon, it'll turn into an item, and yes, the paint stays.

Well that is far easier than I thought... Thank you!

Use a spear and break it, it’ll drop on the floor like a collectible

ahh, ok, I thought it would be broken by smacking it with a spear or other weapon. Guess not.

You could try to put some dirt under it. And make a path. I don't really know as I am not that far yet

Weapons are faster but I use my chainsaw for the durability save on my battle shovel.

Hit it with a spear, it'll go back to box form. The paint stays. I found out the hard way: I thought I was accidentally destroying my rowboat when I was trying to hunt sharks, but then I realized later i was boxing them up. So now I have 3 rowboats somewhere underwater; just wondering if they despawned yet.

They never disappear. I found a rowboat I lost the previous in game year
