2005 Meridian 490 Pilothouse

This 2005 Meridian 490 Pilothouse is a 49-foot fiberglass motor yacht powered by twin Cummins diesel engines producing 660 horsepower combined. The boat was operated by a single owner and has logged low engine hours. Both engines recently underwent cylinder head replacement, extending their service life.

The interior layout centers on a full-beam main salon connected to a U-shaped galley on the same deck level. The pilothouse sits raised above, with direct access to the flybridge. The standard accommodation plan provides three staterooms, including an island queen master berth, along with two full heads, making the layout well-suited for extended cruising and liveaboard use.

The 490 Pilothouse combines substantial interior volume with long-range cruising capability typical of the design. Twin diesel power delivers comfortable cruising speeds in the 15 to 20 knot range, balancing fuel efficiency with practical offshore performance.
