Today I've cut out the first layer of the hull. I'm planning a simplified rectangular base for ease of construction. As i hope the bow will never be punching through a wave and don't expect to be going fast enough for air drag to be an issue this should be fine.
For a sense of scale take a look at the boards laid out together.

And I was able to cut out a pass through for the lift fan.

Cutting out the hole took much longer than the other two cuts due to needing to not overrun the corners and penetration cutting.
