Can anyone with operating experience with Meridian boats compare the quality
with say other boats such sea ray, bayliner, carver,etc... I know it is well
known that Sea Ray is the upper end of the quality scale and Bayliner is the
lower end... Where does Meridrian sit on that scale? I dont know much about
them... Thanks ahead of time for your honest opinion... Thx

Meridian is a rebadged Bayliner. They don't really compete with
SeaRay for the most part, probably about comparable with Carver
although I have no experience with either. I did see a 40 something
Carver once that that was trying to sink after hitting a rock. It's
hard to say if that reflected poorly on build quality but it's not a
good start.
