Hi MUD, yep like Laurie said, use the Material Summary to reach the individual materials for the model. To achieve a shadow on the bed of the water, you need a bed for the shadow to land on. Either lower the ground plane to the depth you like, or select the water plane (and the boat) and raise them until the depth is what you like. To create a wake for the boat, that's probably easiest to do using a terrain object. Check out the tutorials at Laurie's website for creating objects of terrains. And, last but not least -- *nice* boat! That's a very good model! :)
