New Model: Viking 46 Convertible


Close behind the new flagship Viking 82, here is the new Viking 46 Convertible on launch day. The second of four new models that Viking is introducing for 2009, the 46 Convertible features this US builder renowned unparalleled attention to excellence. With an all new running surface and prop pockets to reduce draft, the 46 Convertible shares numerous design, construction and performance elements of both the 2008 new models the heralded Viking 50 and 60 Convertibles, albeit in a slightly smaller envelope making it an ideal choice for the owner operator seeking 44 years of boat building expertise in a scaled down version of its tournament winning champions. The two-stateroom, two-head layout provides plenty of comfort and privacy and the 121 square-foot cockpit includes Viking’s signature observation mezzanine. Hull number one of this exciting new series is outfitted with a pair of the bigger MAN V10CRM 1100hp common rail diesel engine choice. Smaller twin 900hp MAN V8 are the standard engine choice. The new Viking 46 Convertible will make its worldwide premiere with 3 other new Viking's at the Miami Show in beginning February, with what look like a stunning display from this high quality boat builder.
