DETAILS

Merritt boatworks is truly a legendary name in the world of sportfish yachts. Built with obsessive craftsmanship, this 1998 48-footer combines durability, finesse, while achieving great efficiency. 

“Chunda” is a house hold name in the industry. This boat was built by legendary fisherman Stewart Campbell to chase world records around the world. She was a successful platform under Mr. Campbell’s ownership, as she is now under her current ownership.

She underwent a refit by Merritt’s own yard during 2017–2018, bringing her back to a high standard while preserving the timeless lines that make Merritt so well known. Updates include the following:

Full Paint

Bottom Re-Glassed: Adds long-term strength and hull integrity 

All New Electronics: Modern navigation, radar, fish-finders, autopilot 

Interior Refit: Fresh finishes, smarter storage

New Air Conditioning Units: All new A/C throughout 

New Refrigeration: Replaced refrigeration systems

New Head Hunter Plumbing & Toilet: Entire fresh water/black water system upgraded with new Head Hunter components.

New MAN 850hp Engines (2024): Under warranty until 2027 and have 540 hours.

New Teak Decks: Cockpit and helm area
