- 1974 Meridian Yachts Pilothouse 48
My wonderful 1974 Meridian/Trojan Trawler Pilothouse 48 is listed with my broker in Poulsbo, WA. Here's the link to the Craigslist posting (it's also on Yachtworld).
https://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/bod/d/poulsbo-1974-meridian-trawler/7618427909.htm
Meridian Trawler Yachts (not to be confused with the Bayliner Meridian line), were designed by Blaine Seeley & constructed in Costa Mesa CA.
The Kingfisher has been my home for the last 10+ years. She lives large and is an excellent base for all manner of adventures: Prawning, crabbing, fishing, trips to Canada (Bella Bella, Desolation, Broughtons) etc.
I love how bright and sunny she is along with all the areas for lounging. When you have guests onboard, they can easily find their own space to relax - we never feel like we're right on top of each other.
Why am I selling? Well, I love the Kingfisher so much that I bought another one of this exact same model, and I really don't need 2 of them!
Additional details below. For more info, DM via this forum, or text if you can decipher my number: For O sx - tree nn sx - to tree fv fv.
Thanks for taking a look,
Mary
