what was that trick to paint water lines again???

A very easy way is to get the Sears laser line. About 39.95 Very uesful for construction, shelves ect ect. Awesome when it comes to boot line on boats simply shine the laser on the side of the boat and voila you have a perfectly straight line. From there you just mark the line with tape or a marker. Hope this helps cheers John

Place your boat level (on its stand) on your desk. Mark the place where the waterline has to be drawn. Sharpen a pencil or use a 0,5 mm technical pencil. Put some things under the pencil (matchbox, eraser, small boxes, wooden blocks etc.) Now make sure the tip of the pencil is on the same level as the where you marked your waterline. Hold the boat steady and level and gently go around your hull with the blocks under the pencil flat on the table top.

You can mark the waterline directly on the hull and then mask it or first mask it, draw the line on the masking and then cut it with a sharp knive.

I like the first option.
