OVERVIEW

“MERIDIAN” with a three stateroom two head layout, is the flagship of the Huckins fleet and is presented for sale in exceptional condition. The historic Huckins “Quadraconic” hull shape provides a fast comfortable and efficient ride. Professionally maintained and constantly upgraded, this head turning yacht is always drawing admiration from discerning aficionados of classic vessels. This is a cold molded yacht, glassed over originally from the factory. It is strong and seaworthy taking after the PT boats built by Huckins for the Pacific fleet during the war.

 

A major 18-month refit was done at Brooklin Boatyard in Maine 2009/2010, as well as a second major structural rebuild of the bottom done in 2018/2019 in Bristol, Rhode Island.
