Google Sketchup (.skp) of a Seacraft21.
 

I have been daydreaming about consoles, doghouses, transom conversions, and instead of making (fiberglass) sawdust, I have been messing around on the computer.

I watched about 30 mins worth of training videos and then started playing with google's free sketchup app. I think I am going to do all my leaning posts, consoles, etc in sketchup now, very easy to use.

PM me if you want me to email you a copy of the .skp file or any of the steps... I can't figure out how to add the .skp file to this post.

Does anyone have schematics for a 23SC or a 20SF? Even better if you can get these into .skp so I don't have to give them the "crappy" treament. Has anyone put the hermco brackets into sketchup?

The stern view looks like a carolina boat with some deadrise.

Those images are very cool.

I went the low tech direction. I mocked my leaning post out of cardboard and then put it in the boat and walked around it tell it looked and fit right. Not pretty, but it worked.
