Considerations

Fuel consumption is significant at higher cruising speeds – typical for a large convertible.

Without bow or stern thrusters, docking in tight quarters requires skill.

Lack of stabilizers means a more traditional motion in a beam sea.

These are broker observations, not deal-breakers. Every yacht has trade-offs — a good broker helps you weigh them.

Expert Review

The Viking 68 Convertible is a purpose-built sportfishing machine, known for its robust construction and excellent seakeeping. The fiberglass hull is designed to handle demanding offshore conditions, providing a dry and stable ride. The twin Caterpillar C32A engines are a strong choice, offering a good balance of power and reliability, and their performance should be thoroughly vetted during sea trials. For a vessel of this size, the four-stateroom, four-head layout is highly desirable, making it suitable for serious tournament fishing or comfortable family cruising. When surveying this particular vessel, focus on the condition of the C32A engines, ensuring maintenance records are complete. Pay close attention to the structural integrity, particularly around the deck and hull-to-deck joint, and inspect all systems, including the two Onan generators and the Sonar Omni #8. This model represents strong value for money in the large convertible market, especially given its engine package and accommodations. Comparables might include similar-sized Hatteras or Spencer convertibles, but the Viking 68 holds its own in terms of build and market desirability.
