anyone know of any web sites that give you a side profile of a boat (like a cigarette) that lets you try different paint designs ideas, colors,etc ?? I'm re-painting my 35 Cafe Racer this winter and I'm looking for a web site or software that will allow me to design my own graphics.

I forget the name of the company but they might even advertise on here. They make marine graphics (stick on vinyl or whatever) and they have a binch of side profile pics of blank boats for before and after comparisons on their site. If I can find the link I'll post it up here, they might have a program like the one you're after or give you some ideas.

A friend uses corel for some of his wraps..

I seem to have lost my ability to upload images. PM me your e-mail address, and I can send you some examples of 3-D models. The graphics I have done are fairly simple, but I can spend the time to make them more complicated. I use Rhino3D, mainly for engineering and design purposes, but it lets you see what things will look like.
