Hi all, I have now sold my Marine Trader in which I completed the Loop ,also spend a great 6 weeks in the Bahamas. Now back in Australia and looking at our over priced boat market.
Have seen a very nice 2005 381 Meridian with 330hp Cummins and well priced. My main concern is if anyone has knowledge on the sea keeping capabilities of these boats, as our waters are not as placid as those I found on the loop. Most days in my part of Queensland we are looking at least 15 Knots with 3 to 4ft chop, and 20 Knots plus is not unusual, great for sailboats but can be trying on Motor Boats. There are very few 381 Meridians in Australia so I have no one local to ask, so here's hoping Forum members may be able to help.
