Hi there, I have made many a lifeboat for model tugs and various other models - using the simple method of tracing onto very thin plywood  - the outline shape of the lifeboat & the plan view and gluing balsa blocks & sanding & shaping them to the correct shape.   The only images I have of this method is on a build which I did years ago - HMS Daring.   This shows how I made the boats for her.   Like I say I have used the same method for the Cervia Tug lifeboats and also the Frederick Spashett build.   Here are the links to these:
