Hi,
Don't hate me for not knowing this
I am only 13 years old, i've owned a few dinghys etc with small outboards on them, but i'm going big with my boats now. I am planning a build of an 8 foot, cabin boat, quite small still I know, but a huge upgrade. It'll have 3 foot of outdoors space, and 5 foot indoors. This boat is going to be flat bottomed, don't worry, I know what i'm doing 
So my question is, does it matter if the bow of my boat / front tip thingy, is pointed or not, or can it just be flat at a 90 degree angle, just going straight upwards? What'd be the difference of having it like this, or at a 45 degree angle? I'm hoping it'll be fine just flat, as then my boat will look like I want it to when built.
Thanks, Andrew
