Yacht for Sale Description:
Running on Viking's proven fairbody hull shape with 15 degree transom deadrise and propeller pockets for a modest 5.5 foot draft, the 68 Convertible's eye pleasing profile is apparent from every angle.
The luxurious interior is an elegant ensemble of hand-finished teak joinerwork and richly textured designer fabrics, which create a plush, palatial ambience. The four-stateroom, four-head arrangement is sure to please the most fastidious yachtsman and the hard-core tournament fishermen. In addition to the spectacular accommodations and design details is perhaps the yacht's most compelling feature, the 186-square foot cockpit with its dramatic observation mezzanine. The observation mezzanine combines tournament-winning practicality along with the luxury of waiting for the next strike in sublime comfort with its aft facing lounge seat, plus the added measure of sun and weather protection thanks to the flying bridge overhang, which help keep bait-watching eyes, shaded, sharp and rested.
The mezzanine also provides considerable stowage beneath the hinged seating for loose gear, tackle stowage, a 9.9 cu. ft. bait freezer and access to the engine room. The flying bridge sports a center console helm providing superb visibility to all quarters. Fishing rods stow neatly under port and starboard bench seats, while electronics nest safely beneath a clear acrylic panel, which keeps them dry in any weather yet always within easy view. Forward of the helm is an additional freezer and bench seat. A climate controlled enclosed bridge with a spiral staircase from the salon also is available.
Several engine choices are available from MTU and Caterpillar. If desired, fuel capacity can be increased to 2,360 gallons.
