New Model: Viking 60 Convertible

The new Viking 60 Convertible, premiered at the 2007 Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show in October, represents an earth shaking milestone in Viking’s relentless pursuit of excellence. With an advanced hull form that provides 40 + knot speed, dramatic sheer and window lines that create a modern new profile that is aggressive and chic, along with composite construction materials for strength and stiffness and other weight saving procedures for improved engine efficiencies and performance. Combine this ground breaking design, engineering and construction prowess with a fresh, lush interior featuring a choice of gloss or satin finishes and the Viking 60 will easily take the top slot as the boat of the decade. The new 60 Convertible is an in-depth study of a tournament achiever, a subject well-known by Viking. At the 2007 Miami International Boat Show, Viking was awarded the World Billfish Series President’s Cup for the third consecutive year. The sprawling cockpit features 170 square feet of usable space, which includes an observation mezzanine. A popular feature on Vikings, the mezzanine allows guests to remain out of the way of the angler and crew when a fish nears the boat, yet watch and stay close to the action in the lower cockpit. Standard power is a pair of MAN CRM 1,550 hp common rail diesels, which will provide a 32.5 knot cruise and a top end of 37 knots. Twin 1,825 hp Caterpillar C32A diesels also are available and these engines will deliver a mid-30 knot cruise and maximum velocity exceeding 40 knots depending upon load, engines and sea conditions.
