Daanielle.......you current Mady Jeanne is scaled at 1:15?
So a 15 height scale hull plank = 15 x 15 [scale] = 225 mm hull height in full size
The example similar tonnage traditional wooden planked trawlers I see here have hull planking of approximately 100 mm hull height
Many Australian trawlers were built for Italian fishing families and of European design and build
So 100 divided by 15 [the scale] = just less than 7 mm hull high
May be best to do some further research prior to your planking decision
