Broker Overview

The 2007 Viking 64 Convertible, 'Defiance', represents a compelling opportunity for serious sportfishing enthusiasts and those seeking a capable offshore platform. This vessel is equipped with twin Caterpillar C32 engines, a proven and robust power package for this class, offering the reliability and performance expected from a Viking. The recent complete engine rebuilds are a significant value proposition, effectively resetting the clock on a major component and providing peace of mind for the next owner. Its four-stateroom, three-head layout provides comfortable live-aboard amenities, making it suitable for extended trips to prime fishing grounds or family cruising. The inclusion of a bow thruster enhances maneuverability, a practical feature for docking in challenging conditions. Recent upgrades like Starlink and an Omni Sonar, combined with an 'open checkbook' maintenance history, indicate a well-cared-for vessel. While it lacks stabilizers, common for a convertible of this vintage, its deep-V hull design is known for a solid ride. This Viking 64 is positioned as a turn-key option for a buyer ready to immediately embark on serious offshore adventures, offering a balance of performance, accommodation, and recent mechanical investment.

Without stabilizers, it will exhibit some roll in beam seas, typical for a convertible.
Older electronics, despite recent upgrades, may require further modernization depending on buyer preference.

Expert Review

The Viking 64 Convertible is a highly regarded platform, known for its robust fiberglass construction and excellent sea-keeping abilities in offshore conditions. The C32 Caterpillar engines are a workhorse in this size range, offering a good balance of power and efficiency, though a thorough survey will confirm the quality of the recent rebuilds. Inspecting service records for these rebuilds is paramount. On the survey, pay close attention to the integrity of the hull-to-deck joint and any signs of water intrusion in the engine room or bilges, as well as the condition of the running gear. While this vessel does not have stabilizers, its deep-V hull is designed to handle rough seas capably. For value, a 2007 Viking 64 with recently rebuilt C32s and modern electronics upgrades at this price point is competitive, especially considering the current market for well-maintained sportfish. Comparable alternatives might include Hatteras or Bertram convertibles of similar vintage, but Viking's reputation for build quality and performance often sets it apart.
