(OP)
HOW SHOULD I BUILD A BOAT HULL AND FRAMES USING SOLIDWORKS?
ARE THERE ANY GOOD BOOKS THAT APPROACHES SOLIDWORKS FROM A MARINE PERSPECTIVE?

RE: SOLIDWORKS AND HULL DESIGN
Most likely you are going to have to use the loft feature for the hull shape. As far as creating the beam structure I would look into creating weldment profiles of standard 2x4's and such. Then use the weldment features to create the framing. I have not seen any books on marine design with Solidworks. I think you are just going to have to start using it and find out what works best for you.
