What to check before you buy a used Meridian Yachts

- For any applicable recalls, obtain written proof from the seller that the remedy was completed by an authorized dealer or service center
- Pay particular attention to the two shorepower recalls (050055T and 080042T), as electrical defects can create fire or shock hazards
- Have a marine surveyor inspect rudder bearings on models potentially affected by recall 050024T, even if the remedy was reportedly completed
