Waterlines

[cudashark]

Dear Forum,

Can anybody help me with finding the waterline. I have the "wet weight" with people and I have the AutoCad drawing.

I am getting to the last veneers on my 33 ft Mahogany boat and I am going to finish the bottom paint and side bright work before I flip her.

I have a good idea based on the how much a cubic foot displaces water and its weight but would like confirmation.

I have it in AutoCad but don't know how to calculate volumes in Cad.


Thanks
Ray

Then you need to work out what her trim might be?

Hi Tad,

Thanks..That is exactly how I arived at 6" for my current calculations.

I'm hoping for some confirmation in CAD.
