Worlds most "pimped out" 490 Meridian. Upgrades beyond sanity to include TNT lift, bow thruster, New engine and transmission (2010) $18k of top of the line Big Screen electronics etc. Read below for full details.
Her condition is EXCELLENT. If I was needing a 490 for my own use, she would had been long owned by me by now, but I'm "cruised out" here in S. Florida after living aboard and cruising for MANY years. I've "been there-done that, plus bought the T Shirt".. now it's your turn. Owner has officially pulled her off the market due to frustration of trading her but since I went to all the trouble to take the photos and personally inspect her, I'm leaving the information posted.
One owner since purchased new in 2003.
Please note the 03 490's do NOT have the hatch in the salon floor between engines-this was not standard until 2005 models.
