DESCRIPTION

Few yachts have the ability to grasp the attention of the looker the way this Viking Open Sportfish does. Within the same arena as Cabo, Buddy, and Hatteras. None of which were building a better express style fishing yacht than Viking in the late 90's. When you think of the great sportfish brands of today, one of the first that comes to mind is Viking. The proof is in the pudding. Viking is still making some of the greatest boats on the water today. This one in particular is a proven success story. Having offered her previous owners with years of enjoyment, her power was replaced in 2007 with upgraded Caterpillar C-12's. Generating 710hp these upgraded CAT's have the power you need to get you out to the meat market where you'll be hooked up before the others arrive. After receiving new life to the heartbeat of this workhorse, she was repurposed as a commercial fishing vessel in 2020 where she never failed her full time crew or patrons in performance, She now presents herself as a rare CAT powered and reliable workhorse, ready to bring you and your crew to any fishing grounds you choose.
