Expert Review

The Viking 61 Convertible is a highly regarded platform, known for its robust construction, excellent sea-keeping abilities, and impressive speed. This particular 2004 model, 'Mariah Jean,' benefits from the powerful MTU M91 engine package, which is a desirable choice for offshore work, offering a good balance of performance and longevity when properly maintained. The interior fit and finish, characterized by custom teak joinery, is typical of Viking's high standards. When surveying, pay close attention to engine service records, as MTUs require diligent maintenance. Inspect the hull for any signs of hard use, particularly around the transom and chines. The recent bottom paint and prop speed are positives, but a thorough inspection of running gear and through-hull fittings is always prudent. Comparables in this market segment include Hatteras and Bertram, but Viking often holds a slight edge in terms of interior refinement and modern styling for its era. At $899,000, this vessel represents a solid value proposition for a well-equipped and capable sportfish.
