: I was wondering what program you
: used to turn out that little study plan?

Unfortunately, the 3-Views (study plans) I create are not done directly
in my CAD package (Pro-Chine by New Wave Systems). Instead, the
various Pro-Chine drawings are "Print Screened" and copied to
Adobe PhotoDeluxe. They are then cleaned up, spaced properly,
text is added, and they are cropped and sized for upload to my website,
from which they are viewed.

:I need a good, easy to use program to do some hard chine designs.

"ProChine " can do only single chine designs, unlike ProSurf which can do
multi-chines. Other than that they are virtually identical in use. This
software is fairly easy to learn, and allows viewing the design in 3-D.
Also, Hydrostatics are available to tell you everything could could possibly
want to know about your boat.

The "New Wave Systems" website allows you to download a free 25 save demo
version with all features. This will permit you to evaluate the software
before purchase. There is excellent documentation with this package
