If you are one of the lucky ones and contemplating the purchase of a quality sport fishing vessel in the 70’ – 75’ range, an objective stance,  factoring  in several variables will be employed; among them:

• Size and accommodations (general arrangement)

• Styling & aesthetics – functionality & comfortability

• Engine package – speed & fuel burn – sea keeping abilities

• Quality & product support – ease of ownership & maintenance

• Pricing, to include re-sale value and marketability in aftermarket

All competing brands are considered, when it occurs to you that the 72’ Viking is in a class by itself! Simply put – there is NO COMPETITION!!

The classy wood treatments are satin finish walnut, ivory carpet, and high gloss walnut countertops.  An L-shaped couch (rod/reel & tackle storage below) is aft to port, with pop- up 55" TV , Bose V35 Blu-Ray entertainment system and interior bridge stairwell across to starboard.  The day head/powder room,  is in aft starboard corner (practical location to also serve cockpit)
