Hello Robert,

Thank you for the compliment!

Each of those sections is nice and should work, until you come aft to 'I'. It's way too cheeky to make a smooth transition to 'J' which is very hollow, then the lines come back out to the transom section.

I think what you need to do now is draw the waterlines and buttock lines. Waterlines are the lines parallel to the water and represent
where the water would touch the hull if the water were at that level. The butt lines are longitudinal sections perpendicular to the
waterlines.

You should be able to Google all that up or get a book at the library on boat design.

When all the lines are drawn you will have the ability to 'fair' all of them to make a smooth, nice, hull by adjusting the lines, a
process called 'fairing'. Anyway, it will show up the humps and hollows so they can be smoothed out.

Way more than you probably wanted to know!! It would be impossible for me to give a tutorial on laying down lines so finding a
reference book would be the best way. Is this getting too deep??

Look at the lines drawings in the link I gave you to Paul Gartside for an example.
