I worked on this boat when it was the "Fine Lines". At that time it had 16 cylinder Deutz engines. The cockpit area is a lot different too. It had an air pressure salon door, and all of the counter tops were fossil fish slabs. Marlin magazine called it the nicest sport fishing yacht in the world (at the time). Fun boat to run. She was fast (but a little wet in 3-5 in the cockpit. We put a lot of fish on the dock in that boat, she'll raise them. Like all Merritt's!
Honestly, I had always thought of this type of boat as more utilitarian than enjoyable or comfortable. But this video did a great job of showing the luxury side which was definitely surprising. Great video with some really great shots ;)
Love it, I'll be sure to contact you guys first when I start looking. This is almost what I'm looking for. I'll knew for sure here in the spring. Great boat, beautiful interior., and lots of storage.
I wonder how much it sold for? Main engines from 2001 can be OK but they can also be due for replacement if they have many hours on them. Interior (especially saloon) needs a bit refurbishment.
Mannnnnn….. I love these walk through videos... You guys keep me going while being deployed out in the middle of nowhere....
Awe we love to hear that. Thank you for serving our country and dream big.

If she is out in the right hands the owner will make her even more of a masterpiece.
Used to be Alan Jackson's Hullbilly if I recall.

Not liking 5he Gally the stove pop up cover looks like a colmen camping stove. Also one operates the boat from the bridge only?
never understand why no tackle station- bait cutting area etc
How many fridges does one boat 🛥need?
ha! good question. we guess it depends on the appetite for beer and food of the crew! :)
Denison Yachting that's great reply cheers 🍻🍹🍻🍾
when you snag a large 200+ pound fish you are gonna be beyond thankful you have that kind of cold storage
Is it still 4 sale and How much is it?
I may have found my next wife, I mean boat.
:)
Lmao 🤘😁 that a good one
Umm, for me....my next X wife:)
Anyone notice the boat didn’t have outriggers?
great observation... and easily added.
Denison Yachting still a beautiful looking Merritt.
@@doubledogsportfishingteam5606 THANKS DDS!
Lol I saw my house in the video
you should've come out and waived!
That high class monster is strictly used for one main reason, To grease palms of potential clients and so on.......
Nice boat but no live well plus for that size no tender wow
Those are modifications that could certainly be made possible
Not very gr8 interior ... But I like it very much
Thanks Amit!
What kills the sale is political interest and slip charges per foot
