Building model...questions on hull design...

[bduly]

First off, Hi, I'm Bryan and new here. I am a model making student at Bemidji State University, Minnesota. For my senior project I am making a 1:48 scale model of the Wally Power 118. I'm sure the majority of you have heard of it.

My questions pertain to the hull design:
I can't find pictures of the hull and I figure it is due to confidentiality reasons. I understand it's a v-hull or deep v-hull but can anyone give me a clue to some reference pictures I could use. I'm designing the hull from the general dimensions of the boat, what I can see above water line, the water jet location, and the rest is my imagination. If any of you could give me some clues as to how the hull looks beneath the water line it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Attached are a few reference photos and the offical wally website:

you have a profile view already. If you can find a top view, displacement, and draft, then all information is there to design something close.

TouchCAD is excellent for reverse engineering.

Will they sell this Wally boat to Bin Laden folks or is it a leisureboat for drug trafficers and wannabe navy captains?
Looks very much like these stealth ships of our navy:

The only way is to surf properly the net, and chk all the sites, look at this:

If you go on the wally web site and chk all the press regarding the wp118, you can obtain some other data, eg, deadrise and so on...

Woodyp, deadrise is the angle of the V of the bottom of the hull
