![]() Meridian 580Stylish, seaworthy, affordable and built in the U.S with significant warranties, this 58' pilothouse motoryacht from Meridian is an important milestone for the builder. We just completed our test of the Meridian 580 and we're here to tell you that this motoryacht is a tremendous value no matter how you want to look at it. Capt. Steve put the 580 through her paces and he was impressed both with the boat’s handling and the execution of her interior joinerwork. She has a surprising list of standard equipment that is usually optional on many boats. Moreover, a lot of good, solid design planning went into the 580 which shows us that this is the builder to watch during the next several years. The Meridian 580 is an outstanding contender in her class – and a million dollars less than some of her competition! Don't miss Capt. Steve's full report -- See BoatTEST's cruisability video of the 580 Pilothouse -- See more tests of Meridian Yachts -- |

If you've spent enough time on the water you?re probably well aware of the fact that our favorite pastime is not easy on the wallet. Whether it?s a fuel filter, bait pump, bilge or battery, things go wrong as a result of the harsh marine environment. There is only one thing saltwater will not eventually corrode, and that is saltwater. In fact, many believe the word boat is actually an acronym for Break Out Another Thousand, because it seems our spending never ends. While it?s obvious that you won?t be performing an oil change or replacing a wiring harness at sea, there are a number of basic tools and spare parts that every boater must keep onboard. At the very least, a basic tool kit and a few spare parts may assist you in getting home safely while simultaneously avoiding an expensive call to Sea Tow. Before we get started, keep in mind that regardless of which port you call home or where you ply your craft, you must be familiar with your vessel?s capabilities and be able to overcome nearly obstacle that may unexpectedly arise. Now, you may be thinking to yourself, ?If I break down in shallow water it won?t be that big of a deal.? You would be seriously wrong. Consider this very realistic scenario. You?re floating over skinny water in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary in search of tight-lipped permit. You?ve spent a majority of the high tide scouting the shallows and it?s now time to make a move before the water flushes off the flat. You casually climb down from the poling platform and crank the motor when to your surprise you get no response. The next four hours you find yourself resting on the bottom, awaiting Sea Tow and the FWC to potentially write you a hefty fine for damaging the fragile ecosystem. If you only had a wire brush and crescent wrench handy to clean and tighten your corroded battery terminals you could have avoided a whole bunch of headaches ? and saved a few hundred dollars.
