Rarely is there an opportunity to purchase a vessel like this 490 Meridian - she is SUPER CLEAN with all the right updates including laminate wood-look flooring, NuTeak soles on the decks, new Sunbrella canvas for all exterior cushions, and updated cabinet storage systems in the salon that provides ease of access in case of additional furniture and cleaner lines and sense of space.
All the modern conveniences you've come to find on Meridian 490 Pilothouses; trash compactor, clothes washer/dryer, and bathtub. Plus some very handy add-ons, hot/cold shower at the swim platform, HD antenna, cell phone booster, mount for Gen2 Starlink, and the undercounter dishwasher in the galley is a Plus, Plus, Plus!
Many add-ons with time at anchor in mind. 675 watts of solar panels combined with 960 amp hours of house batteries providing for generator-free mornings and evenings.
There's a reason this model is so popular - the Meridian pilothouse offers visibility and accessibility that makes it seem like you're handling a much smaller boat, but still affords amazing creature comforts that you just can't find in other boats of this size range.
You enter from the cockpit that is level to the salon (no big stairs or ladder to climb) and find yourself in an expansive salon which is on the same level as the galley - that's right, it's the "Great Room" feel. There's wood-look flooring all around giving this space a unique sense of style and comfort! All of the windows in this space are at eye level when you are seated, so you won't miss seeing a whale, seal or a shivering sail boater that you pass by while you are safe from the elements (hey sail boater: let us know when you're ready to be nice, warm and dry while cruising and we'll hook you up with this Meridian pilothouse!).
Custom window tint in the main salon and pilot hours side windows for privacy at the dock and keeping cool in the summer.
The combination of easy access on either side of the boat through the pilothouse doors, the bow thruster, and the rear-view camera allows for easy single-handling when needed. Seller single-handed this boat 80%+ of the time.
Up a couple of stairs from this "Great Room" is the pilothouse which offers the best boating visibility you can get in the Pacific Northwest. It is also equipped with twin side doors for easy deck access as well as stairs for indoor, easy access to flybridge.
All the decks feature NuTeak for comfort under foot and classic sense of style.
The flybridge has been updated with new Sunbrella upholstery - and so has the bow seat!
Accommodation wise, you're ready for the family and guests with the forward Owner's Suite, twin bunk room with close off doors in place to keep the owner's suite separated and the mid-ship VIP Stateroom - and even the salon settee converts to a double berth as well for added accommodations.
Powered by everyone's favorite: well maintained twin Cummins diesel 6BTA 330hp engines with just 1500 hours, accessible through hatches in the salon, or by removing the stairs that descend to the staterooms. She also boasts a 9kw generator so you can have heat via the electric baseboard heaters and power anywhere you want to take her.
The additions to this vessel are thoughtful and well constructed to better than factory standards.
As we said, it's a very nice boat!
