Overview
“Double Eagle II” is a one-of-a-kind 43 Viking Express. She was owned by a member of the Viking Yachts family and spent 2007 and the winter of 2008 out of the water, in the Viking factory, for a major refit. The refit included: a complete paint job on topside and hull, re-wiring of many systems, new generator, new pumps, all systems in Engine Room (other than the engines) were replaced, the interior got new Galley appliances, new teak and holly sole, new headliner, new soft goods, new wallpaper and much more. Her current owner purchased her in 2014 and continues to give her updates annually.
In addition to the refits, she was one of only two 43’ Vikings built with 10 cylinder 820hp MANs, making her one of the fastest 43’s on the water. At 1900 RPM she runs an easy 30 knots. Overall this boat shows like a 2008 that has been well-maintained and updated over the years. The next owner will certainly benefit from her condition and power. She’s ready to go cruise the Bahamas or fish the canyons immediately.
