Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

I would have started with a spline curve and duplicated them then loft it for the boat hull. Then if needed add some Isoparms and munipulate them!

I am not sure of what you are asking? If you want to alighn with the grid you could use grid snap.

Also the oblect can be anywhere you want. The grid is just for reference.user added image

It sounds to me that you should try the tutorials that come with Maya in the F1 help... they can really help you with the basics.
