How do you know how to do this? How big of a boat can you build? Center console deep v in the 38-40 range is what I'm thinking

I can build anything. give me a blue print, time and money and I can probably beat Musk to Mars.

You can build it, but can you engineer it? Can you do the design/engineer work required to build a 50-70 ft sportfisher like a Hatteras or Viking? I'm intrigued by you now

I know design but I am not an engineer. Now days everything is done with Flo in CAD now anyhow. Anything I design I get an engineer to stamp. Naval Architecture is a hyper specific field. You'll find 1000X more folks doing Aeronautics. When doing boats I modify proven designs that have been in service forever. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Fair enough. Yep definitely makes sense with boats. There's proven designs that work. Pretty impressive man.
Now if only I could get you the blueprints to s rocket we could start our smallsat company up...

If you join EAA (cheap), your membership gives you a free copy of Solid Works. Saves you a few thousand dollars.
SOLIDWORKS Resource Center | EAA
Welcome to SOLIDWORKS Resource Center, where EAA Members are able to download and obtain SOLIDWORKS software for FREE.
You can get student pricing on almost all CAD software just cant use any of the output for a legit bizniz, its watermarked.

Believe it or not I have used ideas from M C Esher in designs. I have made artificial stone facades with interlocking hidden seams by making faux stones with a repeating foot print. Basically stole this idea and expanded on it

if you are gonna get into CAD school I would suggest going with Autodesk over Solid Works. The Fusion 360 suite has super powerful engineering simulation functions, and Solid Works is playing catch up with them.I still draw old school Autocad, I am still trying to catch up learning parametric drawing systems. The shit is powerful as hell and fast, but you have to retrain your brain how to think about work flow.

I can build you one of those too, food grade 2 part pourable silicone. For an extra fee I could even take a mold off of one of your Exs and make 1:1 replica.

I thought about it, but a lot of places start their entry level guys out at less than I make now. And I'm not that young anymore, so it was kind of...eh. But in 10-20 years, the kids will be out-earning me, no doubt. Especially the ones that went to engineering firms.
I still draw old school Autocad, I am still trying to catch up learning parametric drawing systems. The shit is powerful as hell and fast, but you have to retrain your brain how to think about work flow.
But at some point, when I get debt paid off, maybe a new ride, I may take some time off from teaching and hit classes up again. On the CADD side, I think I need to do Revit and Solidworks if I want a degree.
It was really weird drawing with Autocad and having your dimensions be derived from your drawing, then going to Inventor and having your dimensions alter your drawing. Though it was nice to just edit dimensions and POOF! object edited.
