Broker Overview

This 2017 Viking 66 Convertible presents a compelling opportunity for a serious buyer in the sportfishing market. What immediately sets this vessel apart is the recent, significant investment: a brand new CAT C32B 2,000 HP engine package, complete with new Twin Disc transmissions, installed in 2025 and carrying a full new engine warranty. This addresses one of the primary concerns with any pre-owned vessel – the condition and lifespan of its propulsion system – effectively resetting the clock on its most critical components. Coupled with a new hydraulic bow thruster, this 66 Viking is equipped for precise handling and reliable performance. As a 2017 model, it represents one of the later builds in the highly regarded 66 Convertible series, offering a more contemporary platform. The four-stateroom, five-head layout, including a day head, provides excellent accommodations for extended trips or entertaining. Key fishing amenities such as Sonar, Seakeeper (with a new sphere in 2022), an ice chipper, and a water maker are already onboard, making this a turn-key package for serious angling. This vessel is priced very competitively, especially considering the substantial engine and transmission upgrade, offering a significant value proposition compared to other 66 Vikings on the market that would require similar capital expenditure.

Expert Review

The Viking 66 Convertible is a proven platform, known for its robust build quality, excellent sea-keeping capabilities, and functional layouts. This particular 2017 model benefits significantly from the recent installation of brand new CAT C32B engines and transmissions. This is a critical upgrade that de-risks the purchase and offers peace of mind with a new warranty, effectively giving you a vessel with a new powertrain. The 2000 HP C32Bs are a powerful and reliable choice, offering strong performance for offshore runs. When surveying, focus on the structural integrity, particularly around the tower and deck fittings, as well as the condition of the electrical systems and plumbing, which are standard considerations for a vessel of this age. Given the new engines, a thorough mechanical inspection will still be important to ensure proper installation and alignment. This vessel, with its comprehensive fishing amenities and recent mechanical overhaul, represents a strong value for money in the current market, especially when compared to similar models that would require substantial investment into their propulsion systems.
