The 1997 Viking 43 Convertible is a fiberglass sport-fish built for offshore fishing and coastal cruising. Twin Detroit Diesel engines producing 1,250 horsepower deliver a maximum speed of 28 knots and a cruising speed of 22 knots. The 43-foot hull with 15.2-foot beam provides the stability and sea-keeping qualities characteristic of Viking's tournament-grade design from this era.
Below deck, the yacht accommodates two cabins and one head. The interior features hand-finished appointments typical of Viking's construction standards. The engine room is equipped with new blowers and ducts installed in 2022 and 2023.
Recent service and upgrades include engine, generator, and transmission servicing in 2023. The engines were rebuilt in 2019 and maintained on a regular schedule since. Additional equipment includes dual Garmin GPSMAP 8616 touchscreen units, dual VHF marine radios, a ChargeMaster Plus 24/40-3 battery charger, a polycarbonate cockpit enclosure, JL Audio marine sound system, new carpet, Rupp outriggers, and an Acua Matic watermaker.
