3D models for download?

I'm looking to drop a few yacht models into a series of illustrations and animations. The main focus is actually the architectural designs, but since the large dock areas are key to the design, the client would like several yachts included - 40'-60' typically.

Where can I find a website with good free or cheap models? I'd also consider making a trade.

our focus is architectural illustration/animation. you can see examples at www.2dimes.com

not free, but models range from cheap to quite pricy depending on complexity

This what I am doing using hull data base (text file) the some one that is beeing used for hydrostatics and stability. Ship dynamics is added. The draft, trim and list are according actual calculation and ship reactions on tha waves can be seen for every 10 degrees. model can be seen from any angle.

Program lnaguages I am using : Fortran, Visual Basic and VRML (Parallelgraphics)
