Owner Experience Review
Owners and crews run the VIKING64 Convertiblehard as a tournament battlewagon for canyon and bluewater fishing, yet it also serves well for extended cruising and family weekends. The four‑stateroom/three‑head arrangement with a midship en suite master pairs with a roomy salon and peninsula galley, raised dinette, built‑in refrigeration drawers, laundry, and generous freezer capacity to support full crews on multi‑day runs. The 180‑sq‑ft cockpit and mezzanine storage underline its fish‑first mission while remaining comfortable between bites.
On the water, testers describe a responsive, well‑behaved hull that banks gently and predictably in tight turns. It climbs onto plane quickly with hardly any bow rise and holds a low running attitude, and with the Seakeeper engaged roll settled to “nary a bob” during trials. Day‑to‑day upkeep also earns praise: a centerline hatch/lazarette opens up full access to the Seakeeper and machinery, the engine room is highly serviceable and brightly lit, and listings call out quick‑disconnect fittings for oil changes plus Awlgrip‑coated bilges for easier cleaning. Separately, owners and surveyors have documented cosmetic gelcoat side‑cracking on some early–mid‑2000s VIKINGbuilds; while cosmetic, some buyers pay attention to it.
Pros and Cons
- Responsive handling and quick planing with minimal bow rise in trials.
- Four‑stateroom/three‑head layout and well‑planned salon/galley support extended trips with a full crew.
- Service‑friendly access with centerline hatch, quick‑disconnect oil‑change fittings, and Awlgrip‑coated bilges.
- Best roll mitigation is achieved with the Seakeeper engaged, per testers.
- Cockpit and mezzanine are optimized for tournament fishing rather than pure lounge space.
- Cosmetic gelcoat side‑cracking has been documented on some early–mid‑2000s VIKINGbuilds, which some buyers scrutinize.
