Just remember Im only guessing here, even if we do get these additions it probably wont be for a long time.
Ship customization is probably going to have to start off small.

I see flag, hull, mast, colors being a key aspect of it, along with flags obtained through quests. We can't forget ship decorations like lanterns and possibly different doors on the ship.

I don't think the physics will be an immediate thing we see with it. Mast placement would affect ship performance so that would take a while but once the developers get used to it, designing ship flags and different colors would be similar to our clothing.
