GWN,
Welcome to the Forum, and an early welcome to Vancouver Island. It is a great place to retire (don't tell anyone else though ) and to boat.
As Bruce suggests, if you can find and contact a good broker (not always easy), or Kadey Krogen in Seattle (for the 39) you may be able to get those dimensions. When we were boat shopping, we looked at the KK39 and really liked it. Our good friends are KK owners, first owning a KK 44, then moving up to the KK52. IMHO all of them are great boats! The only thing that stopped us from owning a 39 was price. Just a bit out of our "top price".
You may have to be patient to find a KK39 available and in good condition in the PNW, but probably will find more Meridians available. Haven't actually checked, just a "feel". Also, KK seem to really hold their value, so you may "pay more". If you can find a "stabilized" KK39 in good condition within your budget, you will have a very good boat. As you can tell, I like the KK better, but that is personal preference. Meridians offer many good features, with more interior space possibly being one of them.
Good luck,
Tom
