I have a few other questions. I'm building a simple boat (cajun flat
bottom 10
feet) as a starter project.
The points of the bottom are plotted on a piece of plywood. What would i
use to
make a smooth curve?

A batten.

Buy a 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/16" x 96" extruded aluminum angle and use the back
edge.

You can pick up spots that are out by as little as 1/32" this way.

I faired out a 55 ft boat using this method.
