The Dali Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Hi everyone... I recently ordered the plans and cut wood for the Marissa 18' center console. My father is a long-time boat builder so we are going to work on the project together. Hope to have the base materials by end of December. Looking to make this a bit of a cross between a center console and a Chris-Craft Runabout. Trying to make the design "our own" so looking to add lots of wood aesthetics. More to come!

Don Silsbe Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 If I were to switch from sail to power, that Marissa would be at the top of my list. She is so darned pretty! Enjoy the build. And keep in mind that a few boatbuilding techniques have changed over the years, so don’t be afraid to ask questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
