I’m ready to turn my concept for a sub-5-metre salt-water fishing boat into a fully engineered reality and need an experienced naval architect to take the lead. The goal is a sturdy, trailer-able craft that comfortably carries two anglers and their gear while handling choppy coastal conditions with confidence. You’ll start from my rough sketches and performance targets, then develop the complete design package—hull lines, structural scantlings, weight estimates and hydrostatic data—working to ABYC or ISO small-craft standards. I’m open to aluminium or fibreglass construction; your analysis and recommendations will guide the final choice. CAD expertise with tools such as Rhino + Orca3D, Maxsurf, SolidWorks or similar is essential, along with a proven track record designing small fishing skiffs or tenders for salt water. Good communication is key as we’ll iterate together until the plans are ready for the builder. Deliverables • Lines plan and 3D hull model • Stability and hydrostatics report • Structural drawings with material specs • Bill of materials and weight breakdown • Production-ready 2D fabrication drawings If you’re excited to craft an efficient, sea-worthy fishing boat under 5 m, let’s get started. Deadline: 2-3 months

Hi there, I will translate your sketches and performance goals into a complete, build-ready small craft design, focusing on hull efficiency, stability in choppy coastal water, and a practical layout for two anglers and their gear. The process will cover hull form development, structure, weight control, and compliance with small-craft standards, with clear iterations at each milestone. Recently, I’ve worked on compact salt-water boats and utility craft, delivering full design packages including hull geometry, structural detailing, stability checks, and fabrication drawings ready for builders. Allow me to share my recent work over a chat.

Hi there, I can take your rough sketches and turn them into a complete, build-ready boat design with hull lines, stability, structure, and full fabrication drawings to ABYC or ISO standards. I’m experienced with Rhino and marine workflows and can help you decide between aluminium or fiberglass based on performance, cost, and durability in coastal conditions. Do you want this boat optimized more for ride comfort in chop or for fuel efficiency and easy trailering? I can start right away and deliver a clean, professional design within your 2–3 month timeline.

I design real products that get built, tested, and used. I work hands-on from early concept sketches all the way to functional prototypes and production-ready CAD. Most of my projects involve mechanical parts, enclosures, mechanisms, and assemblies optimized for 3D printing, prototyping, and practical manufacturing. I focus on designs that are simple, strong, easy to assemble, and cost-effective. If you need someone who can take a rough idea and turn it into a working physical product, I bring both engineering depth and real-world problem-solving to the table.

Hello, I am a naval architect with over 10 years of experience designing small craft under 6 m, having delivered more than 40 production-ready fishing skiffs and tenders compliant with ISO 12215 and ABYC standards, including aluminum and GRP hulls operating in coastal salt-water conditions. My approach will follow these steps: (1) review your sketches, performance targets, and operating profile, (2) develop hull lines and 3D geometry using Rhino + Orca3D or Maxsurf, (3) perform hydrostatics, stability, and weight optimization to meet ISO/ABYC criteria, (4) design structural scantlings and material specifications for aluminum or fibreglass, and (5) produce full production-ready 2D drawings and BOM. The design will prioritize a moderate-V hull for chop handling, reinforced keel and chines, corrosion-resistant materials, and efficient weight distribution for trailering and two-person operation. All deliverables will include a lines plan, 3D hull model, stability report, structural drawings, weight breakdown, and fabrication-ready CAD files within the 2–3 month timeframe. To proceed efficiently, could you confirm your target top speed and engine power range? Do you have a preferred construction method or builder constraints? Will the boat operate primarily offshore or within protected coastal waters? Hope to work with you. Best Regards...
