Description
This 1996 43’ Viking Convertible was bought by its owner and was a work in progress. In 2022 it had a repower with a fully rebuilt pair of Cummins QSM11-M diesel engines (660HP each), paired with ZF transmissions. With just 20 hours since the rebuild, this powerhouse package delivers a smooth 24-knot cruise and a 30+ knot top speed, ensuring years of reliable performance to come. With 600 gallons of diesel you have a solid range with this vessel.
Supporting its offshore capability is an 8kW Onan generator (1,600 hours), providing dependable 120/240V power for extended trips. Designed for both comfort and function, this Viking is a great option for daily fishing trips to travel trips through the islands.
Key Features:
- Twin 660HP Cummins QSM11-M Diesel Engines Rebuilt (Only 20 Hours!)
- ZF Transmissions for smooth and efficient operation
- 8kW Onan Generator (1,600 hours) for reliable onboard power
- Updated Garmin Electronics (GPSmap XSV)
- New Audio System for enhanced entertainment
- Air Conditioning and Heating for year-round comfort
- ACR EPIRB Global Fix Pro for safety and peace of mind
- Revere Commander 6-Person Liferaft with cradle
This boat still has some light work to be done to get her to fully 100%, but she is a package that is ready to go for its next owner to make her exactly the way they want.
