1997 Viking 43 Open

This 43 Viking is now seriously for sale and the owners are ready to move. It's had many recent updates recently, most notably a Full Simrad electronics package. This is a very impressive sportfishing and cruising machine that is very easy to run. The bow rail was removed to improve visibility and make this one stand out from the crowd. A huge EZ2CY enclosed helm deck with air conditioning / heat make up the heart and soul of this Viking. The cockpit features a large livewell, floor fishbox, bait freezer, bait station, engine room access and a large Scopinich fighting chair with a 4 rod rocket launcher. A 3rd level pipe welders tower, with hard top and rupp outriggers round off the fishing features. But don't forget the full kitchen with teak and holly flooring, complete head with separate stand up stall shower, large salon lounge seating area with hidden flip down bunk above the sofa, and full master with Queen island berth forward.
