    Interested in popularity of boat and ship design software. Maxsurf, but unfortunately no systematic series for small boats and no propeller calculations. Any advice?

    Maxsurf Pro has a parametric transformation function that allows you to vary LCB, Cp (or Cb), and Cmidship, as well as scale to any Displacement, LWL, BWL and/or draft. This function is also accesible from Maxsurf's COM interface, so a systematic series can be easily generated in Excel.

    Propeller Calcs - Navcad does a good job, we have no desire to compete with an already excellent product.
