Is the 1993 MERRITT BOAT WORKS Sportfish Ann Marie for Sale?

Yes, this 1993 MERRITT BOAT WORKS Sportfish Ann Marie is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is being actively marketed to buyers who value tournament capability and classic craftsmanship. Because well-kept Merritt models hold value among serious anglers, availability of a comparable example in similar condition may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, MTU service records, hull condition, varnish or paint condition, and the survey by a Merritt-savvy surveyor should all be reviewed. A well-maintained example with documented service can have a very different ownership profile from another Merritt 65 that has deferred maintenance.
 

1993 MERRITT BOAT WORKS Sportfish Ann Marie Price

The asking price for this 1993 MERRITT BOAT WORKS Sportfish Ann Marie is $1,495,000, positioning it as a competitive custom sportfish for sale. Well-kept Merritt models hold value among serious anglers, which supports the asking price. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 65-foot custom sportfish. Fuel burn at 28 knots will be significant with twin 1550-hp diesels, so budget for high diesel costs on long runs. Merritt wood hulls need specialized survey and varnish or paint upkeep, which can exceed fiberglass maintenance. Buyers should also account for a professional survey, haul-out, insurance, dockage, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This MERRITT BOAT WORKS Sportfish is powered by MTU 12v2000 engines with 1550 HP each, delivering a 28-knot cruise and 34-knot top speed. The MTU 12v2000 is a high-performance marine diesel known for strong power output and reliable operation, and the twin installation gives this 65-foot sportfish the speed and range needed for serious offshore fishing and long-range travel.
 

The Merritt cold-molded wood construction is respected for strength and a smooth ride, and the proven Atlantic, Caribbean, and Pacific cruising history shows real blue-water ability. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, propeller condition, and hull maintenance, so a sea trial should be used to verify the performance of the individual yacht. Fuel burn at 28 knots will be significant with twin 1550-hp diesels.
