This 2003 Meridian 540 Pilothouse is a 56-foot fiberglass motor yacht built for extended cruising. Twin Cummins QSM11 diesel engines, each rated at 635 horsepower, deliver a cruising speed of 16 knots and a maximum speed around 20 knots. The pilothouse design provides excellent visibility and weather protection, while the yacht's beam of 16 feet creates a spacious interior.
The accommodation layout includes three staterooms and two heads, offering comfortable quarters for extended voyages. The interior benefits from a Webasto hydronic heating system and an upgraded 17.5-kilowatt Onan generator for reliable power and climate control. Navigation is well-equipped with an AIS receiver and extensive Raymarine electronics suited for offshore operations.
Performance features include bow and stern thrusters for enhanced maneuvering in tight quarters. An 11-foot Novurania tender with a 40-horsepower Yamaha four-stroke outboard is included. The engines show 4,312 and 4,145 hours respectively. The yacht has been stored in a covered boathouse since new, which has contributed to its condition and preservation.
