45 Viking Yachts Convertible

Overview

The Viking 45 is built in the tradition of its larger siblings and shares all of the engineering attributes that have made Viking synonymous with blue-water performance and luxury. Built to deliver the utmost quality, the Viking 45 represents everything Viking Yachts is noted for in a mid-sized convertible. A strong performer with a choice of fuel-efficient, turbocharged diesels, the sharp entry, molded chines, 15-degree transom deadrise and fairbody running surface combine to create a hard charger with reserve muscle to weather the conditions typically experienced in the deep without breaking a sweat. And with just two major components, the hull and the deck, house and cockpit assembly, the 45 Convertible is a rugged, durable mass of marine engineering and state-of-the-art technology. Offshore fishermen will like what they see in the 119 square-foot cockpit. Underfoot, grippy, molded nonslip provides secure traction. Built into the after bulkhead is a bait freezer, a tackle cabinet, a bait center, a stowage locker and engineroom access.

A comprehensive list of standard equipment includes a Glendinning Cablemaster shore power cord, flush rodholders, fresh and sea-water washdown systems, stereo speakers, transom door, drink box in the salon step and a one-piece aluminum ladder to the flying bridge. An aluminum plate laminated into the cockpit sole anchors the owner supplied fighting chair. An insulated fish box is flanked by stowage wells, one of which can be converted to a live well. Low side wings afford spectacular visibility from the flying bridge. Helm and companion pedestal seats are standard and the long bridge deck not only allows ample room for guests to maneuver behind the chairs, but also shields the cockpit from sun and spray. Electronics stow in three separate weatherproof compartments convenient to the helmsman's line of sight and the engine gauge package is equally easy to monitor. Power-assisted hydraulic steering is standard and electronic controls and trolling valves also are available. Ahead of the console is a comfortable L-shaped lounge with ample stowage below. There is additional stowage beneath the starboard lounge and aft facing jump seat. Taking full advantage of the husky beam, the salon is impressive. An L-shaped sofa converts to a double bed and has rod stowage below. Forward, the U-shaped galley features undercounter refrigeration and solid surface countertops. Appliances are concealed behind beautifully hand-finished teak joinery. Stowage is surprisingly abundant thanks to sliding dual-rack systems in the deep cabinetry. Opposite the galley the cozy dinette is inviting for snacking or full-course meals. The 45 Convertible has two large staterooms. The master stateroom forward has a walkaround berth and access to a private head with stall shower. Amidships, the guest stateroom to port offers the convenience of upper and lower berths along with a second head and stall shower. In the engineroom, Viking's engineering benchmarks are numerous. Engines are mounted to powder-coated structural-steel web frame beds that are secured to dedicated transverse composite bulkheads, which assure drive train alignment and minimize vibration. Daily maintenance checks for the machinery are inboard for easy service. Finished in white Awlgrip, the engineroom sparkles with efficiencies and attention to detail.

With the exception of some major components such as engines, generators, air conditioning and pumps, virtually 90 percent of the boat is fabricated and built by Viking's skilled technicians. Fiberglass fuel, water and waste tanks, for example, are designed and built at our plant to mirror the inside of the hull to maximize capacity and range. Electrical harnesses, aluminum bow and safety railings are crafted in-house. We even manufacture our own shower sump systems and fiberglass exhaust ports.
