Hi Ryan, also there are some varieties on that technique that you can use as well, like instead of trimming one single piece, you can do something like starting with one flat outline drawn in the side view like this:



Use Construct > Offset to create a second one that is some thickness away from it:



Now select the main body (which you probably want to have set up as only a half and then mirror it when you have it all finished), and use Edit > Trim to cut it by both those curves:



Delete that in between part, and then move the inside piece inwards a bit:



Now Loft between the edges to make the side pieces, then Join those all together:




That's just to give you an idea on a variation. But fundamentally to make these kinds of things you will be cutting the hull in various ways, either by drawing curves and using Trim, or in some cases it may be easier to model the cutting piece as a separate solid on its own and then use a boolean operation to carve it out of the main body.
