The helm's electronics and controls are truly state-of-the-art. The
separate throttle and transmission controls were replaced with an
electronic Glendinning single throttle with sync and docking modes. Also
added was a joystick control for docking.Given that the original electric bow and stern thrusters thermally shut
off after 30 sec. of continuous run, this was not suitable for joystick
maneuvering. Both bow and thruster stern thrusters were upgraded to
24-volt long run time (10 min continuous run) Vetus thrusters. The 24V
battery system has its own 24V charging system. The original thruster
controller was replaced with a dual joystick design for easier use.Mast
Two KVH TV3 satellite domes are mounted on each side of the mast which
provide 4K TV. A third dome is a KVH LTE1 which allows for up to 25
miles offshore internet connection. Also on the mast is the latest
Garmin Fantom Doppler radar with 6 open array antenna. GPS, Sirius
weather and AIS equipment is also mast mounted. The mast can be
illuminated at night with white, red or blue light.All electronics were replaced with two Garmin chart plotters and a
Garmin Reactor autopilot with an electronic compass. Analog tachs were
replaced with Aetna digital tachs. Analog engine gauges were replaced
with digital LCD display screens. The radar is the latest Garmin 6' open
array Fantom Doppler radar. A fully articulating FLIR night vision
camera system has also been added. The original Bennett trim tabs were
replaced with Zipwake interceptors which utilize a built-in GPS to set
them for maximum performance, at the helm is the interceptor LCD
controller. The vessel has a Garmin AIS with an emergency button. VHF
Garmin radio is new. Sirius weather antenna is on the mast. For
real-time weather (wind speed, direction, and other parameters) an
Airmar solid-state weather station is on the top of the mast. Weather is
displayed on an additional Garmin screen (GMI 20) which helps when
docking in windy conditions. The spotlight has been replaced with a
Jabsco wireless control on the helm for pan tilt and changes from the
spotlight to floodlight modes. This vessel even has a Garmin
forward-looking sonar to help in shallow waters.There is a pan/tilt
aft-facing camera to assist in maneuvering, which can be displayed on
either of the Garmin chart plotters or on the TV.
Deck and Hull EquipmentAft Cockpit
The aft cockpit was professionally installed at Newport Shipyard in
2014. An engineering study was completed by Gurit (a Danish firm
specializing in marine construction) relating to the attachment and
construction of the project. Since 2014 the aft cockpit extension has
performed flawlessly. The vessel underway with the extension is stable
and performance is excellent. The extension includes a built-in curved
couch with Sunbrella nautical-themed stripes which match throughout the
vessel. All exterior cushions have closed cell foam for no water
absorption. A teak custom inlaid epoxy coated table adorns the sitting
area. A port-side refrigerator is built into the extension bearing the
Meridian logo engraved upon the door. Above the fridge is a clever
pull-out electric grill. Multiple storage areas are under the couches.
At the stern of the platform is a large hydraulic hatch for additional
storage. The rear of the extension has a swim platform with a hatch for
stowing the flip-out telescopic ladder. Appropriate cleats are attached
to the platform.Upper Cockpit
The upper cockpit has a couch which was installed as this space on a
standard 408 is vacant. It has upgraded Sunbrella fabric which matches
all other cushions. The couch has storage under cushions and a storage
compartment. The couch has stainless cupholders. Across from the couch
is a sink with storage cabinets for liquor bottles and a full-size ice
maker in the adjacent cabinet. The port and starboard clear curved
windows were originally plastic and were easily scratched and were
replaced with tempered glass. Also in front of the couch is a custom
epoxy-coated teak table on a hi/low base.
Deck Equipment
All exterior gunwales, bow as well as upper and lower cockpits and swim
platform have Flexiteek installed. It looks just like new teak without
the upkeep and maintenance teak requires. A clever design to hide the
cable and water hose includes two hatches on the cockpit floor which
contain them for no tripping or unsightly cables in the cockpit. The
Meridian name boards were originally plastic which during buffing were
susceptible to damage and were replaced with highly polished solid
stainless-steel.The anchor is the highly regarded Ultra Anchor with its optional swivel,
so the anchor always comes up in the proper position. This famed
Turkish stainless steel anchor's design holdsground better than any
other anchor in its class. The first 5 feet of chain is polished
stainless steel, so it looks great being visible up at the windless. The
plastic anchor control covers on the bow have been replaced with
polished stainless-steel covers.
Additional EquipmentEntertainment Equipment
This vessel has a stereo system designed by a high-fidelity expert. It
has a Fusion large screen LCD head unit at the helm and two remote LCD
panels on the upper cockpit and one at the lower cockpit for full
control. The Fusion remote units are on the NEMA network, so they can
display any NEMA data, such as wind speed and direction. It has JL audio
speakers through the exterior of the boat with two 12" subwoofers.
Amplifiers power each of the speakers with clean power.Galley
The Galley has a large Kenyon cooktop as well as a large refrigerator,
freezer, and microwave. The galley also has plenty of counter space for
enjoyable onboard cooking.
Mechanical EquipmentEngine Room
All lighting in the engine room is LED. All maintenance is up to date,
including the cleaning of the after coolers (port side aftercooler is
new) and heat exchangers. Sherwood water pumps have been upgraded to the
more dependable SMX pumps with easy-to-change impellers (not using
splines or key way) but a special tool to make removal and insertion
easy. The boat has a Reverso electric oil changer system. All seacocks
have Groco valves which allow for pull-out plugs for easy winterization.
The original float design for waste tank monitoring has been replaced
by an ultrasonic device for accurate readings without the usual issues a
float presents. Waste level are displayed on digital monitor.Air Conditioning
All four A/C units have been replaced recently with new Cruisair units.
These units have plastic pans which do not corrode or leave rust stains
down the side of the boat on raw water outlets. The A/C pump is
oversized and new as of 2020.Electrical Equipment
Generator: Onan 9 kW Model 9MDKAV-2743The interior electrical panel like the rest of the vessel has been fully
upgraded with numerous LCD panels for all conditions of the boat and
battery charging systems. Since some of the displays are on the NEMA
network even all weather information including wind speed and direction
can be shown as well as any other NEMA data.Underwater lighting is also state-of-the-art. All lights are Lumishore
with infinite color-changing capabilities. There are four large lights
on the stern and two lights one on the port and one on the starboard
side. A computer mainframe controls all the lighting with a DMX
controller like those used at rock concerts for multiple effects. An LCD
Lumishore light control panel is on the platform extension. Control can
also be done with an iPad using custom software. The Custom stainless
vessel name "Prime Time" also lights up and is interfaced with the DMX
system and can be synced to follow the colors of the underwater lights
as well as many other lighting modes. If the name of the boat changes,
the existing wiring can be used for new vessel name.Even the horns have been upgraded to Khalenberg air horns loud enough to get the attention of any size vessel.The vessel has an alarm system with all exterior doors as well as a
contact that sets off the alarm if the canvas cover for the helm
electronics panel is removed. There are 4 blinking red LEDs at all entry
points when the alarm is armed. A keyless wireless remote arms/disarms.The Vessel has a new 2021 ACR full-size EPIRB.Salon
The salon has two opposing couches with the port side couch having 3
pull-out footrests. Storage is under the starboard couch. All woodwork
throughout the boat is cherry and in outstanding condition. All
carpeting in the boat is excellent and stain-free. The salon has a 32"
4K HDTV with a Yamaha receiver and Dish Network equipment hidden in a
cabinet. Four speakers are in the salon, with two subwoofers under the
couch for surround sound. There is also a CD changer with AM/FM radio
under the TV.Stairs leading to the galley and bow stateroom lift up where the washer/Dryer and central vac system is located.
AccommodationsOwner Stateroom:
The owner's stateroom is a few steps down from the salon back aft. The
stateroom provides ample hanging closet space, a large bed with easy
access on both sides, a large window for plenty of light into the aft
cockpit, a large head, and a separate shower space.VIP Stateroom:
Forward of the galley is the VIP Stateroom with ensuite head, sink, and a
separate enclosed stall shower. There is a separate door leading to the
head from the salon for day head access. The aft-facing sleeping area
has easy accessibility from port or starboard and plenty of storage
lockers/closets.Helm Area:
Above the salon is the helm area and lounge. Visibility is excellent and
incorporates plenty of seating, a fridge, and a large flat screen TV on
a movable hinge. The flat screen TV can be rotated to face either the
helm or the upper cockpit. For ease of maneuvering, the TV, when facing
the helm, can display port and starboard views of the sides of the
vessel at the same time on a split screen.Upgraded: 2014-2019
