Expert Review
The Viking 72 Convertible is a benchmark in the sportfishing yacht market, renowned for its robust fiberglass construction, exceptional seakeeping, and performance. This specific 2018 model, "Wrapped-Up," benefits from the desirable MTU 2000 V16 M96L power package, offering a proven balance of speed and reliability. The inclusion of a Seakeeper 26 and an extensive electronics package, highlighted by the Furuno Omni Sonar, significantly enhances its operational capabilities and comfort. Value for money here is strong, given the comprehensive equipment list, recent maintenance, and the MTU extended warranty. During a survey, focus on standard items like engine records, generator hours, and the condition of the Seakeeper. Given the vessel's tournament rigging, pay close attention to the condition of fishing equipment, tower integrity, and the functionality of all specialized systems like tuna tubes and watermaker. Comparables might include late-model Hatteras or Spencer yachts of similar size, but the Viking 72 holds a distinct market position for its build quality and resale value.
