stop the Customizing get_the_excerpt() to specific length and "Read More" output.

I am costuming a template. There is a list grabbing the introduction formfrom the first 1-2 paragraphs (all the articles from a category). If I only set the excerpt to 295 words, sometimes the list grabs additional words from the next paragraph. I would like to add a Read More tag to stop it. Can someone help me with that part?

Thank you very much.
