: It is possible Free!Ship does all of this automatically, but I suspect not.

I was messing with it this morning and it does change the parameters as you change displacement. I enter a new draft and it will calculate the displacement. I am seeing the waterline change, wetted surface, LCB, etc. with each change of the draft.

So, I am going to grab one of my models, plumb the stern and bow and rerun these numbers. Making sure I have the displacements the same on each one.

Thanks for the tips! I really appreciate it.

I've done that, too, but only with the Guinness.
