Mmmm... just a little bit of scratch building, maybe. One has to do something to please one's boss. Otherwise... goodbye, promotion.
Your best chance would be that your boss does not have detailed plans of the boat, so that you could say sorry, bass, no plans, no model. If he does, then hopefully he doesn't want interior detail, so that you could carve the thin g out of o block of balsa. If he does, then negotiate you promotion first. If he won't, then model his secretary on one of the bunks!!!
