Design and Construction

The 42' model provides a showcase for several Viking innovations. The windshield is now made from molded fiberglass, eliminating the braces needed for metal frames. This was also the first POD model produced by Viking. Built with a deeper V than on the typical Viking (16.7 degrees of deadrise at the transom compared with 10 or 11 degrees) to compensate for the shorter running length and lighter weight. The additional draft from the V is offset by the shallow running gear of the pod-drives, nestled in protective pockets; the 42 Open floats in 3 feet, 5 inches of water.

• Modified-V, flared bow, hard chines, lifting strakes and pod pockets
• Resin infused and vacuum bagged cored composite construction, uses end grain balsa and closed cell foam cores in selected areas for optimized strength and stiffness while minimizing weight
• Solid fiberglass at the pod drives and hull bottom keel and chines
• Infused fiberglass fuel and freshwater tanks with fiberglass baffles, balsa coring in sides for stiffness, sealed to the hull with resin foam
• Laminated end-grain balsa core in hull side, top-sides and transom with port tuna door and 2 swim steps
• Fiberglass encapsulated foam stringers
• Vacuum bagged composite bulkheads Main engine room bulkhead, intermediate engine room bulkheads
• Vacuum bagged end grain balsa core in hull bottom
• Awlgrip engine room, lazzarette, forward bilge and anchor locker for enhanced and maintenance
• Blister resistant modified epoxy resin in entire hull skin
• Custom blended polyester resin used in structural laminates, top-sides, bridges, and hardtops
• Fiberglass side thru-hulls
• High performance isophthalic gelcoat for superior gloss, flexibility and outstanding weathering characteristics
• Hull interior, isophthalic gelcoat top-coated with a durable high gloss polyurethane coating
• Fiberglass hard-top with StrataGlass aft window enclosure curtains
• Integrated trim tabs to Zeus pods
• Custom raised (6") bow rail and extended further aft for safety
• Bow pulpit with anchor chute

Broker's Comments

This is the second owner, and she has been cared for with an open checkbook. She had several updates in 2023 including a new Garmin Fantom Radar and New Array, Release sailfish fighting chair, Rupp outriggers, Strataglass aft curtain, new Pod seals, heat exchangers flushed, 1,000 hour engine service completed.

Owner's plans have changed and would consider a late model, 30' center console trade.
