WALKTHROUGH

Stepping aboard “Hullbilly” into the spacious cockpit you immediately become aware of the popularity of this desirable 58’ series from Merritt’s. The large mezzanine area with plenty of seating also host an abundance of refrigeration and freezer space as well as storage. The large teak cockpit offers plenty of room for anglers and crew to fish in comfort.

Entering the salon through the pneumatic door you will see the beautiful natural teak interior finished in satin varnish. To port is a large u-shaped sofa and custom teak coffee table and plenty of visibility all around through the salon windows. To starboard is the entertainment center with cocktail ice machine underneath and two occasional chairs. Going forward on the starboard side is the much sought after dinette area with seating for four. Across to port is the galley area with all appliances under counter to provide a clean open look. The custom burl wood floor and granite countertops compliment the entire salon area. Forward in the galley behind the book matched teak cabinetry you will find sliding drawers providing ample storage as well as the microwave oven. The custom built in Merritt refrigeration and freezer is located under the forward counter. The Gaggenau cooktop and the convection oven are located under the aft countertop.

Moving forward down the companionway stairs you will see the full height teak paneled walls finished in satin varnish.The crew quarters is too starboard with over/under births running fore and aft. There is a hanging locker and storage drawers underneath. To port is the guest stateroom with a double birth athwart ships and an upper single birth running fore and aft and storage drawers underneath. The ensuite head and shower has an overhead hatch and access from the companionway through a separate door. Continuing forward is a large rod and reel tackle closet with ample room for fishing tackle. All the way forward is the master suite boasting a queen birth to port with matching end table cabinets and overhead reading lights. To starboard you will find the entertainment center flanked by two large hanging lockers all behind beautiful book matched teak cabinetry. The ensuite head and shower are all the way forward with an overhead hatch. From the tasteful designer soft goods and the layout of “Hullbilly”, this captain and crew maintained boat shows what sets the 58’ Merritt apart from the others.
