Default how do you bend wood into the boat shape?

It all depends on exactly how the wood needs to be when it it done.
How tight is the bend?
There are several ways to bend wood.
1.Flex it into the shape desired and hold in place with screws, nails,
glue or lashings.
2. Steam bend the wood using a form to hold the wood until it is cool.
3. Laminate with glue two or more pieces that are flexible so that they
hold their shape went glue is set.

If you tell us exactly what you are doing we can suggest a way.
