Sorry for the delay. I just now realized that pictures had comments. Yes, it is Sketchup. The design was actually done in Ashar vellum. PDFs were made and I converted the PDF to DXF in Illustrator. I then imported them into Sketchup. Although Sketchup is pretty easy to work with, I wouldn't use it for a stitch and glue boat OR as the starting point for any boat design. I'd use freeship! Then export the panels to Rhino3D and create developable panels from their. I did this just to see if it was do-able.

Nice drawing Dajuane!  Looks like Sketchup?  I've been pondering building a drift boat model in Sketchup (or Autodesk Inventor), but haven't gotten my head around the complex curves.  Nice work.
