Kickback - VIKING FOR SALE

Preliminary listing — more photos and details on the way

Introducing Kickback, a meticulously kept 2004 Viking 65 Convertible. Maintained under captain oversight with open‑checkbook care and now with her second owner, Kickback has been thoughtfully updated and refined to remain standout. All services are current—she’s genuinely turnkey and poised for her next adventure. Power comes from the highly sought‑after optional Caterpillar C30s showing approximately 2,600 hours (2622/2623), setting her apart from other 65’ Viking Convertibles on the market.

Built from 2000–2005, the Viking 65 Convertible is widely regarded as one of Viking’s finest sportfisherman designs, with 80+ hulls delivered. Whether you’re casual cruising and fishing with family or running tournament spreads offshore, this convertible sportfish checks every box for a bluewater game boat.

Aboard, the 179 sq. ft. cockpit features mezzanine seating with effortless engine‑room access, abundant storage, and generous refrigeration/freezer capacity. A handsome fighting chair stands ready at center. Dual Glendinning Cablemasters serve both port and starboard. Teak cockpit soles and covering boards have been renewed, and brightwork presents beautifully. A color‑matched Whisper Gray ladder leads to the flybridge, where you’ll find refreshed Garmin electronics, a new Makrolon enclosure, and an upgraded forward refrigeration/freezer chest ahead of the console.

Enter the salon via a push‑button door to discover a starboard console housing a bespoke hi/lo TV lift within custom cabinetry. To port, a redesigned settee adds seating and impressive stowage. The galley is fitted with concealed Sub‑Zero appliances and optional raised‑panel, solid‑wood joinery. Forward, a walk‑in pantry supplements provisions, and opposite sits a U‑shaped dinette for six.

Below, the full‑beam‑feeling owner’s suite amidships offers a walk‑around king. The forward VIP presents a centerline queen. To starboard, a guest cabin features upper/lower berths. A fourth stateroom, just aft of the companionway’s stacked washer/dryer, includes its own head and shower plus direct engine‑room access—ideal for guests or crew.
