You are bidding on a Super Clean 1 Owner Trade.. This 2011 Meridian 341 comes to us in very good condition, with LOW hours and all of the options they can pack into one of the best Pocket Sized Sedan's on the market. Powered by twin Mercruiser 8.2 M.P.I. engines with only 165 hours of use!! This boat is not only loaded but it includes some expensive options that set her apart from some of the other boats on the market.. For instance the I.V.C. or (Integrated Vessel Control) from Mercury which includes front and rear bow thrusters that are integrated in with the AXSIUS Joy Stick Control. This is a 30,000.00 Factory upgrade alone, and the underwater Blue lighting is a real head turner at night!! Our previous one owner customer also spared no expense in adding a rear view back up camera for docking which helps the captain get into tight stressful spaces with ease. Brand new manifolds were just installed, and all of the service was done at the local Meridian Dealer. We have all the records.

While many cruising yachts less than 40 feet in length are best-suited to overnight or weekend stays, Meridian's 341 Sedan has redefined the class by providing the comfortable accommodations and extra features you need for extended cruising. This cruisability incorporates accommodations for four in two spacious staterooms, a full-service galley with all the amenities and an airy salon with opening windows, panoramic views and entertainment center. And, like the rest of the Meridian Yachts fleet, she also offers standard underwater exhaust and a variety of available navigation and communications systems. The 341 from Meridian redefines just how much cruising comfort you can design into a compact sedan.

Weve always been of the opinion that the Meridian Yachts 341 Sedan serves as an excellent platform for those making the move up from smaller boats to an actual cruising yacht. Shes one of the few boats in class that offers a flying bridge in a world where most of the industry focuses on express cruisers and coupes. We particularly like the ease of handling with the vessel's proprietary control system that obviates the need for costly pods.

Meridian Yachts 341 Sedan Captain's Report (Test on same exact model as ours)

By Captain Steve LariveeThe layout of the Meridian Yachts 341 Sedan is unusual in several respects: pretty much the whole main cabin is the salon, the galley is down a step on the way to the accommodations below, and the guest cabin is a mid cabin with twin berths going for and aft. Here we see the mid cabin which is accessed on the centerline. There is standing headroom at the entrance which has a privacy door. The Meridian Yachts 341 Sedan makes an excellent transitional cruiser for those looking to step up from day boating and bowriders. Weve been looking forward to testing the Meridian 341 Sedan now that shes been repowered with MerCruisers newest 425-hp 8.2L MPI HO engines. But before we get underway, lets take a look at the operational features of this cruising yacht. The bow of the 341 Sedan has a modest flair tapering down to a reverse chine and dual lifting strakes to both sides of the keel. Notice the drains above the waterline for the anchor rode locker.Power UpUpon entering the 341 Sedan, there is a switch right next to the sliding glass doors to the salon to control the courtesy lights at the aft deck and stairs leading to the flying bridge. This is a thoughtful touch as its not always bright and sunny when stepping aboard, and a large number of people, including the staff at BoatTEST.com, enjoy boating at night. Upon entering the 341 Sedan, a switch for the courtesy lights is conveniently located.

The first stop is in the salon where the main battery switches are located in a lower cabinet next to the couch. Once the main power is brought on it's time to activate individual systems.The main battery switches are located in the cabinet in the salon.The ships main power panel is located to the opposite side of the salon, again in an enclosed cabinet.The ships power panel lies behind a cabinet to the opposite side of the glass entry doors. The ignition keys are at the top of the panel embedded with the DC circuit breakers, and turning the key simply activates the control station at the helm on the flying bridge. All of the labels to the switches are backlit in green making them easily read at night. The 120-V controls are in a subpanel just below. Beneath the panels are two gauges providing readouts for the water tank and holding tank levels. With an optional generator, the controls are locaed here as well.Daily ChecksThere are two areas to focus on for the daily checks. First is under the hatch in the aft deck. This is where the optional generator is located, as well as the main batteries. Meridian Yachts offers either a 7.3 kW gas generator or a 9 kW diesel generator. The optional generator is located under a hatch in the cockpit deck. It has a dedicated sea strainer that is easily serviced, and the main batteries are also located in this compartment.The main engines are located under a hatch in the salon. The entire compartment is well soundproofed. Removable access stairs lead in to the compartment to a platform directly between the two engines allowing for easy access to daily check points. There's also access to the outboard side of the engines for more involved maintenance.The main engines are located under the main salon. Note the soundproofing material under the hatch.Ground TackleThe bow is accessed by rather narrow side decks but as this isn't exactly a heavily traveled corridor, the width is a fair trade-off to adding space in the salon. Meridian Yachts did a fine job of placing grab rails where they needed to be, and the side rails have a height that exceeds ABYC standards.Side decks are narrow but serve their purpose. Grab handles are located everywhere facilitating a safe transition to the bow.The bow of our test boat was equipped with optional features that included the electric windlass and remote control spotlight.Rather than go with a simple open compartment, Meridian makes practical use of the forward compartment while still allowing for access to the anchor rode underneath.At the bow, our test boat was equipped with the optional features that included an electric windlass with foot control switches, and a remote controlled spotlight. A 10 (25.4 cm) cleat is mounted next to the anchor for securing the rode.Good IdeaAn access hatch to the side is opened with a much preferred lift-and-lock type of latch rather than the turn-and-lock type. Where the rest of the industry simply offers an open space to the deep anchor locker to allow for managing tangles, Meridian cleverly chose to make the top area a usable space by providing a liftout base to hold a washdown hose that connects to the freshwater spigot. Should any rode tangles occur, remove the hose and lift up the "floor" of the compartment allowing free access under the windlass.Flying Bridge HelmThe flying bridge is accessed from stairs to the port side of the aft deck. There are hand rails everywhere and I was never out of reach of something to hold onto as I made my way up. There are not only safety rails surrounding the stairs preventing anyone from falling down accidentally, but the stairs can be closed off with a lengthy, and lockable hatch.The flying bridge is accessible even in a seaway, thanks to the multiple grab handles from bottom to top.Turning on the keys at the lower power panel arms the single touch start/stop buttons at the helm.Meridian went with an attractive and functional helm for the 341 Sedan. The windscreen seemed to be at an excellent height to deflect the wind over my head.An accessory switch panel is located well behind, and to the right of the helm for switches that will not get used quite so often.The helm is located forward and to starboard. I think that Meridian did an outstanding job with the helm layout, creating a functional and attractive workstation. The wood and leather steering wheel is mounted to a tilt base. Just ahead are two optional Raymarine hybrid touch navigation displays to either side of the digital depth gauge. To either side of the panel are 4-in-1 gauges and analog tachometers for each of the two engines.

Slightly behind are the controls for the bow and stern thruster. The close proximity of these controls to the engine controls provided excellent ergonomics when backing into the dock. There's full visibility to the entire length of the 341 Sedan. With one hand on the engine controls and one hand on the thrusters precision maneuvering is easy to maintain.The Test NumbersThe Meridian Yachts 341 Sedan has a length overall of 35'10" (10.9 m), a beam of 12'6" (3.8 m) and a draft of 3'4" (1 m). With an empty weight of 18,254 lbs. (8,280 kgs.), one quarter fuel and two people onboard we had a test weight of 19,049 lbs (8,640 kgs.).With a pair of MerCruiser 8.2 L MPI HO engines powering our test boat and turning 23 x 22.5 x 4 Nibral props, we reached a top speed at 4700 rpm of 36.3 mph. At that speed fuel burn was 71.05 gph giving us a range of 115 miles. Best cruise came in at 3500 rpm and 25.2 mph. That speed reduced the fuel burn to 35.75 gph giving the 341 Sedan a range of 158 miles and an endurance of 6 hours 18 minutes while still maintaining a 10% reserve.We reached planing speed in 4.7 seconds, accelerated to 20 mph in 7.3 seconds, and continued accelerating through 30 mph in 14.7 seconds.Optional power packages include the T330 or T380 QSB Cummins diesels.HandlingOne of the first things that impressed me with the 341 Sedan's handling characteristics was how tightly she turned. The Meridian Yachts factory is in a relatively landlocked position on the Intracoastal Waterway and open water is hours away. For that reason we had to find the widest spot we could on the Intracoastal, which frankly still wasn't very wide. But the 341 Sedan had no trouble maneuvering in this confined space even at speed. Clearly this was thanks to the design team at Meridian for engineering good-sized rudders.The 341 Sedan has one of the tightest turning radiuses in class.The four-bladed Nibral propellers direct thrust up against the good-sized rudders providing excellent maneuverability.Forward VisibilityShe presents a 10-degree bow high attitude upon accelerating, and once on plane the 341 Sedan settles into a 5-degree attitude. Naturally, thanks to the elevated position of the flying bridge helm, there's no loss of visibility to the horizon. She responds so well to the helm that beginners will have no trouble quickly developing a comfort level with the 341's operations. At cruise, the fish pots that popped up could be easily seen far ahead and avoided. Of course this is not to imply that vigilance doesn't need to be maintained, but reaction time is not as critical as one would think.When taking power off she settles back into the water at a level attitude.Close QuartersOf course when transitioning into this yacht from a smaller boat many people will be concerned about whether she can be handled around the dock. While it's true that she is a conventional inboard boat with straight shafts and rudders, she's easily maneuvered thanks to the thrust that the large propellers provide.When Thrusters Pay OffAdditionally, our test boat was fitted with the optional bow and stern thrusters which significantly reduce the workload while maneuvering around the dock. I simply use the engines to provide directional momentum, and the thrusters to maintain directional control and was able to ease in to the dock effortlessly, even against a stiff crosswind.The thruster controls are located right next to the engine controls and allow for both hands to be used at the same time when bringing the 341 into the dock.The optional bow and stern thrusters facilitate close quarters maneuvering quite efficiently. The stern thruster is protected from damage by the integral swim platform.(THIS TEST BOAT DOSEN'T HAVE COMMAD CONTROL) Ours Does!

Precision docking is a simple affair with the 341 Sedan. Even a beginner captain can dock with surgical precision.ObservationsTheres certainly a lot to like with the Meridian Yachts 341 Sedan. She's not only a well laid out yacht, but remarkably easy to handle, offering excellent control-ability for even the novice captain. For anyone looking to transition from a smaller boat to a real cruising yacht, I think this is one that deserves serious consideration.
