Yes You Can Build Your Own Power Boat... The title says it all. If you have the will, you can build your own power boat; but first you need a good design. You can choose from many ready- made designs and plans available in the market. Buy one and try to make your own boat, but it often happens, that will not be satisfied with the design or you need something more unique; something that will represent you. In this case you can take the aid of boat designing software. This software allows you to design boat models and render their images. You can later use these images or the model itself, as a guide to build your own power boat. Here is how you do it: - After you get a copy of the software, have a few basic plans of the boat’s sketched on paper or on the computer. The design software allows you to import images so that you can use them as blueprints. If you draw it on a paper, you may then scan it and import the picture in your software. - Pick up a surface type or basic polygons. Then modify the surface or polygon to give it the outline of the plan. There are many ways to do it. - When you are finished modelling the basic shape, add details to it. You can even create holes in it. - You can view the model in two modes; shaded or wire frame. You will render the image of both modes of the models. - Print the images. - Now you have your own boat design. There are things you should remember while you build your own power boat. The measurement units and dimensions should be equally the same as you want in your power boat. When buying the boat design software, try a specific kind that is easy to use and understand. It should also have realistic hydraulic calculations. Make sure to often check the software simulation, so that you will be sure the boat works well.
