Seeking: Reverse engineering forms

I have shaped my own forms to the point i am happy
with what i see.

Question is, would one of the kayak design programs out there
allow me to enter the exact dimensions of each of my forms?

They all seem to determine form size by changing the hull shape "click and drag" style.

I'd like to enter all my forms sizes and see what the hydrostatics etc are.
