Drawing boats is not the only think I do,
But assembling something from primitives certainly won't produce a hull
shape.
Take a look here, Winston.

This drawing took me two hours from starting the lines.
Do it with Rhino and compare?
Fair challenge, don't you think?
Drawing the lines of a hull isn't easy, but good NURBS modelers today
make it a lot easer. Those are very nice work, Richard.
Take a look at the marine applications of Rhino. It's become popular for
drafting hulls:

Oh man, oh man!
I have drooled all over my keyboard!
Rhino can do it.
I suspect that's professional work though.
I bought DC version 18 at Frys for $69
Yes, the price of Rhino is a real problem unless you have a professional use
for it. I used it for making 3D magazine illustrations, after it passed out
of its multi-year, free beta stage, and I paid what was then the full price
for it. At the time I was covering CAD for a couple of magazines and the
original math geek for Rhino, Michael Gibson, became my teacher about 3D. So
I was into it early on.
However, it's raced past what I used to do with it, and I'm really amazed at
what it can do now. If I didn't have to work I'd spend a *lot* of hours with
it. It's an exciting tool.
But there are a lot of cheaper programs around now. I'm out of touch, so I
don't know how the cheaper ones stack up against Rhino.

I bought Autocad - way back at version 10 - for DOS.
I hated it. Slow, clunky, took HOURS to print.
When I found Design CAD all that changed.
It's not Rhino, I know.
I'd like to have a chance to play with that one.
But it's awesome at 2D drafting.
Easiest to use package I've ever found.
Models in 3D - well above average for a drafting package.
(as you saw)
The animation isn't bad - as good as the animator anyway...
Example Bender Rodrigues movie that I drew for Dorothy.
