Design RC hull for boats???

I'm looking in to getting Solidwork to make my own designs of Radio Control
Boats Hull, I was wondering if Solidwork is capable of doing it?? or is
easier with Autodesk Inventor???

 

You should perhaps contact Grady-White Boats in Greenville, North
Carolina (www.gradywhite.com) about this question. They use SolidWorks,
but it may be that they have seen a necessity to buy add-on surfacing
products to be able to get the results that they need. Now I know RC
boats aren't the same animal as what Grady-White designs and produces,
and it seems likely that you aren't going to need anywhere near the same
amount of finesse in your designs . . . but that's for you to judge and
not me. Certainly SolidWorks is capable of doing the kind of "lofting"
that is required for decent hull design. I rather think there are
products out there that can do about as well for substantiall less
money, however. You might want to look at www.alibre.com.

Boy they sure are not bashfull about what they want for the add on $2995.00
I give SW another year and you will not even need surface works.

 

I noticed you suggested contacting Grady White and was wondering what
you thought of my Grady White Marlin 28 that recently sank. Please
take a look at my website:

Let me know what you think and thanks.

 

Hi there,

sad to see those pictures. Is there a chance to rebuild your boat ?

If you consider buying a new boat, take a look at:

http://www.cheetahmarine.co.uk/

They build excellent high-tec boats, speddy, safe and perfect for
fishing with lots of possibillities to customize for your special needs.

I like the jet-engines ;-)) already had a try, it was big fun.

Good luck
