DESCRIPTION:
This 2008 Viking 68 Convertible stands apart from the typical offerings on the market, having undergone an extensive series of modern upgrades and improvements throughout 2024 that significantly elevate her capability, comfort, and value. Most notably, the vessel was outfitted with a Seakeeper 26 stabilization system with transferable warranty, a full Garmin electronics modernization including open array radar and new autopilot, Starlink satellite connectivity, new cockpit teak decking, and numerous mechanical and electrical upgrades.
Built with the desirable four-stateroom layout, including crew quarters and upgraded fuel capacity of 2,375 gallons, she is powered by Caterpillar C32 Acert engines rated at 1,825 HP. The combination of these major system upgrades, strong mechanical pedigree, and Viking’s renowned build quality places this vessel in a category above most comparable 68s currently available.
