Our chariot is a 2004 Meridian 408, an aft cabin powerboat/motoryacht. We’ve owned it since Christmas of 2016, and spent the ensuing 3 years boating extensively around the Puget Sound area, with bigger trips up into Canada.
We’ve made several bigger modifications for living and working on the Great Loop:
- Removed the seat and footrest from the lower helm, replacing the seat with an A/C unit, and storing eBikes where the footrest used to be
- Put elastic webbing over the inside area behind the windshield for soft goods storage
- Replaced the starboard couch with a custom desk/office chair set for us to both work from
- Added a WirEng GigaMIMO-Lite LTE antenna to the hardtop for cellular reception
