    Greetings, XL Nation.

    One of my projects is to create a fishing pack, including some warehouses and fishing boats. However I'm kind of stuck about creating properly fishing boats. Well, I am trying to create them by myself, but I'm still messing up the hulls every attempt. Do you have any tutorials for it. If not, what kind of methods or tricks can make proper boat hulls?

    Thanks for any replies. Good days :)

    Maybe you could ask @Drazicdesign or @PaulJChris for the 3DS files of their boat/ship mods? And then take these models as a base? :)

    Hmm, I haven't considered that. At least it can be tried.
    On the one part, I'd like to make my own boat models. Still trying to make a proper model by using planes with blueprints,. I'm a tiny bit satisfied, but I will try to do my best mate.

    What do you think?

    Looks good so far (y) the side hulls look a bit thick, though. But I don't know the planned size of the model...if it is a small boat, then it's fine :)

    Maybe you should have a look to these sketchup models.

    Fishing boats | 3D Warehouse

    3Ds max export is avalaible in sketchup.
    Sketchup models have some lacks but it could be a good start.

    @kipate, yeah this is small boat :)
    It has 12 meters length, 3 meters width and a height of 2 metres. Also I'm thinking to cover with wooden textures, maybe rusty metal textures.

    @Lokentaz, that's helpful. Thank you very much mate :)

    I've found these 3D models of fishing boats on a site that I've discovered by this research:
