"about_short": "The Marissa is a smaller version of our Ocracoke 20 with an easier to build hull shape and a focus on efficiency. The design goal was for the most economical center console boat that would be just big enough to be really practical. By keeping the top end speed at 25 knots the structure could be made lighter which in turn means a smaller motor and less fuel are needed. Calculations show that at 15 knots (17.27 mph) with the 25 hp motor, the 16 gallon (60 liter) fuel tank will give a range of 210 nautical miles in flat water for 15mpg which is more than a lot of pick-ups can do. The top end speed with a 25 hp motor is 21 knots or 24 miles per hour burning 2.2 gallons (8.3liters) an hour. Most builders these days are choose 40-60hp since in many cases the higher hp motors are the same weight since they share the same engine block depending on manufacturer.",
"about_long": "The construction method uses developed panels of plywood, built over a jig. This means that hull panels can be full size and will drape over the frame without having to be cut into smaller pieces. All of the “jig” becomes permanent structure. The construction employs a modified “egg crate” method that is both light and strong. The design is aimed at efficiency of materials for performance. We also offer a CNC cut kit for these components for those that want to get a jump start on construction. This is not a stitch and glue “introduction to building\" type of boat however it is very suitable for the competent amateur. The Marissa is also an excellent choice for the small commercial yard.",

"html": "\"My 18' Marissa turned 4 in June and I just wanted to say it still brings a smile to my face the way it slices almost effortlessly through 2' short currituck sound chop. It is the driest boat I've ever had as well as very comfortable in most any direction sea. I don't even have to check the wind forecast before I head out on the sounds because I know, short of a hurricane or other storm it'll be fine. I finally got it dialed in with a brp rogue 13x17 4 blade prop last year and it's as close to perfect as a boat that size can be for me. The fuel economy is stellar as well, 5-6 gallons of gas and I can run all day.\""
