I am no expert but I think you should start planking near the keel and move up the hull. The hull of a trawler is very round and you will need to taper quite a few planks. The transmission shaft output is going to be very delicate. Do you have a block of wood that has to be sanded by any chance, for this location? I would glue these pieces to the keel before planking.

that's correct........with the first plank running against the fore and aft bulwarks, the planks are going to run along the tops of the mid ship ribs. is that mahogany planking? if so, then you might want to give it a slight bend for the bow and stern. I've never used it, but I hear that it can be a brittle wood to use. at the bow, cut to the angle of the stem and a bevel so it will fit up snug against the stem and the rabbit.
