One of the most dominant sportfishing yachts in her class for several years, the Viking 55 Convertible followed in the acclaimed footsteps of the original Viking 55 Convertible built in 1998–2004. Sleek and sporty with a huge cockpit and luxurious accommodations, the 55C is a competitive fishing machine and an ideal family cruiser. Entering from the cockpit, an electric sliding door opens to an expansive main salon with an L-shaped leather sofa to port and the dinette just forward. The starboard-side galley with Amtico flooring and two barstools at the counter in a peninsula configuration. Below, the three-stateroom layout has the master suite to starboard and a twin-berth guest cabin to port. The forward VIP stateroom was offered with a walkaround island berth or angled over/under berths. A laundry center is accessed from a companionway door. A mezzanine deck with lounge seating overlooks the vast 151 square-foot cockpit complete with two in-deck fish boxes (or live-wells), two freezers, a drink box and copious amounts of storage. An extended flybridge overhang provides shade on sunny days. "Wildcatter is powered with the upgraded optional Twin 1,550hp MAN V12 diesels and easily cruises at 35–36 knots (40+ top).
AGAIN "WILDCATTER" IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITITION AND WILL DEFINELY PLEASE THE MOST DISCRIMINATING OF BUYERS!
TRULY A MUST SEE!
ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED!
COMPETITIVE FINANCING TERMS ARE AVAILABLE!
In 1996, Viking introduced its first 55 Convertible at the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show. This model broke new ground with style and out gunned the competition not only with its performance but with its movie star popularity that trampled the competition in sales. Over the next five years, Viking would build over 150 55 Convertibles. No other boat by any manufacturer in this size range would even come close.
Performance wise, the 55 Convertible eagerly rushes to top speeds in excess of 40 knots. Like to fish offshore, but sleep late? This ride is for you.
The cockpit and flying bridge have been designed around the experiences of a thousand fishing tournaments, but you don’t have to be a hard core blue water angler to appreciate the built in conveniences and amenities like a center console helm station, or observation mezzanine in the split level cockpit.
AccommodationsSleeps six owners and guests in three Staterooms for a total of six berths. One Master Head with shower, one Guest Head with shower.
