1981 Merritt —
About This Yacht
This 1981 Merritt is a 55-foot wooden sportfish convertible with a beam of 16 feet. Built during Merritt's height of classic design, the boat carries the careful construction and proportions the builder was known for.
The layout includes two cabins and two heads, providing accommodation for cruising or extended fishing trips. The interior spaces reflect the thoughtful design typical of Merritt conversions from this era.
Power comes from MAN engines, a respected choice for yachts of this class. The wooden hull construction is characteristic of quality sportfish boats of the period and requires the maintenance commitment that comes with that material.
