EP 59: Meridian 441 Boat Tour [2009] 

Yeah, they are a very nice boat!

It would make for a nice trip to come see her and a fun trip taking her back up to NC 😎😁

Yes, it was a really nice boat.

She is under contract and goes to trial and survey this Friday. Probably the best way to estimate shipping overland is uship.com, but you’d have to hire people to take the top end apart and then reassemble it in WA for bridge clearance. Probably cheaper and easier to put it on a ship from Ft Lauderdale and I am guessing $40-50 thousand…that is just a guess though.

@@BoatSnoop That’s interesting thought about shipping by boat. Even at 50k that’s still cheaper than many 441s on the west coast. New owners seem have have scored on a great vessel.

@Justaguy0420 yes, it is a nice boat. Interestingly, you’d have to ship it from Ft Lauderdale to the Mexico/California border or Canada/Washington border by ship because of the Jone’s Act. Then motor the boat into Washington. The Jone’s Act prohibits non US flagged shipping vessels from delivering from US port to US port and all delivery ships are foreign flagged.

It will be in the very near future.

Yes yes lolololol. You did see that I put text up saying stern thruster right? I heard that in editing and just banged my head on the desk 🤣

Good eye. Noticed that too and owner had mechanics come troubleshoot after and they had to replace a sensor. Test ran it and issue resolved.

I watched both this and the livestream……did you say something about an engine being replaced? Or was I hearing things? That boat seems to be a unicorn…..I’ve never seen a 441 with a lower helm. Didn’t even know it was an option. We have a 391.

Honestly, I cannot remember if it has a replaced engine…I don’t think it does. Owner says the lower helm was an option. It’s a really nice boat. There a few minor things wrong with it…cosmetic level stuff, but it’s a 2009. Owner is researching fixes for the cosmetic items. Overall, a definite above average boat since bristol unicorn boats rarely exist.

I was mistaken. I rewatched it and you said the wiper motor was replaced, lol.

Glad to hear you liked the livestream. Had never done one and didn’t know what I was was doing really for that format 😎

This boat will actually be listed Wednesday or Thursday. The seller had a few things he wanted to fix…he wanted everything to be as good as possible before we put her up for sale.
