It's not too hard to do - it's like doing a profile. Only in 3D, but the program helps.
I've been feeling vaguely annoyed with this build, and couldn't quite pin the reason, until I noticed two things:
1 - I reversed the colors by mistake; instead of a mahogany/reddish brown trim on a wood yellow deck, I made a yellow trim on the mahogany deck.

University of Spoiled ChildrenI repainted and it looks much better:
I also put in the rear passenger cover (which I was using as a painting /color test) and I kinda like the result:
I would have to repaint the cover, but it would make sense that a smuggler's boat would keep the goods discreetly hidden. Otherwise, I'll have to paint both passenger areas. Maybe I'll do both and see which looks best.
I used Molotow Chrome paint to paint the 3D printed intakes, nav lights and handholds:
I have to clean the handholds a bit.
Here are the steps, again. The scale to the right is in cm:
I also printed a new windscreen (which failed) two types of throttles (single and dual):
The walls are too thin (about .3mm) and could easily be thickened. The throttle handles are movable, although I would glue them in before installing. Since this is a single engine boat, I'll use the single throttle.
I also designed a modern marine radar screen:
The mount is loose and I need to clean some of the support attachment points.
Here's a render of the radar display. The smallest buttons a 0.5mm in diameter and 0.75mm long:
