The 2002 Viking 48 Convertible represents the second generation of this respected sportfisher, redesigned with a contemporary profile and flowing lines that give it a timeless presence. The 16-foot beam creates exceptional interior volume and livability, while the refined running surface delivers smooth, confident performance. Twin MAN diesel engines producing 1,720 horsepower enable cruising at 17 knots and a top speed of 28 knots, supported by robust powder-coated steel I-beam engine beds mounted to transverse bulkheads to minimize vibration and maintain drivetrain alignment.
The two-stateroom, two-head layout offers private access to each cabin with separate stall showers—a level of comfort typically found on larger boats. The salon features frameless, tinted deckhouse windows that flood the interior with natural light, highlighting varnished teak joinery throughout. An L-shaped lounge incorporates rod and reel storage, while the forward U-shaped galley includes solid-surface countertops, recessed appliances, and Sub-Zero deep-drawer refrigeration. The dinette seats four comfortably.
The pilothouse offers outstanding visibility and intuitive control with electronic controls, power-assisted steering, and Palm Beach-style controls for easy docking and close-quarters maneuvering. Ample storage is built into the console. A home-theater entertainment system is installed in the salon.
Recent updates include a 2026 Garmin electronics package, a 2023 Northern Lights 11.5kw generator, a West Coast Bluewater transom bait tank, and a 2017 10-foot AB dinghy with Marquip 1000-pound davit. The cockpit received fresh gel coating in 2022, while the house and foredeck were painted in 2023.
