Using my first forum post to ask about my first boat build

I'm building my first boat, how do I build my hull? Make it float right? Make the tiny sailors stop getting in bar fights on shore leave? Any tips will be paid forward. Thanks

    @jamesPLANESii thanks, It's nice to have one of the advanced builders respond with help to us less talented, and you do it all the time, so a tip of the hat to you sir

    • Depends what Hull your making, I guess you’d look at a real boat hull of the ship you’re building and replicate the shape of it. Generally you build the hull first.
    • You can add flotation on the sides, or you can add a keel that has a weight on the bottom that keeps your boat upright if that’s realistic. And for how high it floats in the water, if you’re making a larger ship, you can make the stuff under the water not buoyant and have very high buoyancy blocks where the water line is so it floats at the right point. I guess you could probably do that with smaller boats too.
