The series was made of welded aluminum. Most Marinettes today are used on inland rivers and lakes, although some are found in saltwater locations. They are, due to their light weight, relatively shallow chine angle, flat transom and broad beam, relatively fast and economical for boats of their size.
Richard F. Smith, the designer, devised the lock notch welded system for which Charleston Dry Dock & Machine was the sole licensee. [6] The design consisted of steel plates with notches that allowed easy fit-up and welding. Only nine workmen were required to assemble the hull. This design saved one-quarter of the cost, and 85,000-lbs of rivets.
The boat has a draft of 18 in (46 cm) with the daggerboard extended and 6 in (15 cm) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or beaching. It can also be transported on a trailer or automobile roof. [1] [2] The design has a hull speed of 3.8 kn (7.0 km/h). [9]
5086 is the preferred hull material for small aluminium boats or larger yachts. Its high strength and good corrosion resistance make it an excellent match for yachting. [1] 5086 has a tendency to undergo Stress corrosion cracking and is not used much in aircraft construction as a result. [3]
