Stan,
>From some boat building articles I remember something
like the following:
Build a long armed frame with an adjustable long arm.
Mount on rollers (Car mechanic dolly for rolling under
cars might work). Attach a marker on the end.

Level the boat using the desired water line at bow,
stern, and a point on the sides.
Wheel the the arm mechanism around the boat with the
marker touching and you have line around the boat at
the desired height parallel to the surface.
