Overview

About this vessel

The Viking 43 Open was the dominant express sportfishing boat of its class throughout the 1990s, and this example shows why. Big, muscular, and purpose-built for serious fishing without sacrificing day-boat comfort, the 43 Open pairs a proven convertible hull with a centerline helm design that lets the captain double as mate when fishing short-handed. This is a well-equipped, recently reinvested example ready to fish or cruise.

Recent Upgrades

Starboard engine completely rebuilt top to bottom with only 19 hours since rebuild. New dual Simrad NSS12 Evo 3 Multifunction displays with Radar and Sounder installed. New bow thruster recently installed for effortless docking and close-quarters handling. West Coast bow rail installed approximately two years ago.

Twin Detroit Diesel 6V92 diesels power this 43 to a comfortable offshore cruise, with the well-known toughness and serviceability the 6V92 platform is known for throughout the sportfishing world. With the starboard engine freshly rebuilt, this is about as close to "new engine" confidence as you'll find on a boat of this age.

Layout & Accommodations

The 43 Open's large, uncluttered cockpit reflects Viking's decades of experience building tournament-winning sportfishing boats, with a top-loading freezer, tackle cabinet with bait prep center, removable fish box, baitwell, and walk-in engine room access. Below, the salon is spacious and open with a wide U-shaped settee to port and a full-service galley opposite - an efficient, popular layout for day trips and overnights alike. The centerline helm offers excellent visibility and puts the captain just steps from the cockpit and the foredeck.
