It has a recently installed soft top with full strataglass enclosures with zippers that can be opened as is the case with the aft deck window material. There is an open, unobstructed view for both the captain and the passengers. The same beige/cream tweed carpet is contoured throughout the bridge area, including the stair treads leading up. There are twin padded full seats before the bridge panel, as well as padded surround seating to starboard and forward. Ample storage space can be found beneath these seats as well as within the teak cabinetry forward. Custom installed electronics and the quality Viking bridge gauges and controls are easily accessed by the captain.

Additional information:
* This vessel is in immaculate condition throughout with no scratches, stains or surface defects . She is recommended for the serious buyer who wishes to own an exceptional, traditional Great Lakes yacht. We invite you to compare her with any other vessel of her type (double cabin cruiser) and vintage currently on the market. This Viking is one of a kind. Her barrier coat and paint are in excellent condition, along with her original gelcoat. She is stored in a heated indoor facility each winter. Even her headliners are as new. No detail has been overlooked. We welcome your requests for any additional information you desire. Reason for sale: declining health of devoted owners (husband and wife).
* Numerous original maintenance records and documents are available, including all factory literature and manuals.
* This boat has always been a freshwater vessel.
Newly Installed Custom Teak Flooring: Steven Menz, Master Woodworker. Please note that the flooring is constructed of individually installed traditional teak planking and is not to be compared with sheet-applied or synthetic products. Each board was individually numbered so that the color and grain run true throughout. All hatches fit precisely, and the major hatches, where possible, are framed with contoured corners. Each hatch includes the appropriate traditional solid brass hardware. This endeavor was commissioned by the present owners in 2008 and required several months to execute while the vessel remained in enclosed storage for half of the boating season. (All wall-to-wall carpeting was removed, including that alongside the double berth in the forward stateroom which is paneled in teak, as well.) The original Viking inlay flooring, also in pristine condition, is retained in the galley and the heads only. The present owners retained these as well as the entirety of the superb Viking teak joinery throughout the boat.
Aft Deck:
From the salon up two steps and through twin teak glass-fronted doors, the large aft deck is equipped with the original factory installed fiberglass hardtop and strataglass windows that can be unzipped and fastened upwards to provide ventilation if needed. There is a door to both starboard and port for easy access to the deck areas. The floor is original textured fiberglass with a new custom contoured beige/cream tweed carpet. In addition, the room contains the original Viking teak cabinetry behind which a complete wet bar with a sink and an icemaker/refrigerator can be found. There is also a door at the stern providing access to a teak stairway leading to the teak swim platform. The surrounding railings are also solid teak. The furniture consists of an upholstered loveseat and chair, an additional lounge chair with a coffee table to match. The upholstery is of a beige and mocha "sunbrella" fabric which is resistant to fading. The present owners have also included protective contoured coverings for all upholstered pieces to further protect the upholstery when the vessel is in storage or left unattended for a period of time. Also present are two teak side tables located to port. Custom made tan canvas runners are included for the aft deck and the salon in order to protect both the salon and aft deck carpets during viewing purposes and the flooring surfaces when workmen are engaged to provide services within the vessel. Decorative pillows also accent the aft deck furniture making this a most comfortable area in which to relax and enjoy a panoramic view of the scenery, rain or shine.
Master Stateroom:
The master stateroom is located three steps (teak) down aft. This room contains a center-line queen berth with generous space to move freely throughout the areas therein. There is extremely ample drawer and cabinet storage space throughout, including a full-sized clothes closet and separate locker. Three lamps provide excellent illumination, including a "his-and-hers" three-way lamp on either side of the bed for nighttime reading. The contoured bedspread is embroidered linen and includes decorative silk pillows. The window treatments to starboard and port, also including the large transom window, are embroidered silk organza overlaying English chintz, also lined and interlined. A matching drapery is also present on the window inside the full-length locker to starboard. The flooring throughout is teak. All additional Viking woodwork/cabinetry has also been retained in this room. The room also contains a fire extinguisher as per regulations.
Master Head Aft:
This head is located to port, and as per the guest head, contains a full bath with vanity, stall
shower, mirrors, ample lighting and electric commode. The original Viking ivory-toned inlay
flooring has been retained throughout. The window treatment is made of English silk organza with hand-applied antique lace trim surround. There is generous teak cabinetry providing storage space both above the vanity and below.
Guest Stateroom Forward:
This private stateroom features a double bed, generous drawer and locker storage and an opening hatch overhead. The draperies starboard and port are 100% silk dupioni, fully lined and interlined for longevity and aesthetic appeal. These include a complimentary trim along each perimeter. The custom contoured bedspread is fabricated of English chintz. Silk decorative pillows enhance the decor. (Unfortunately, these are not visible in the photograph below.) Unlike many forward staterooms, this room is amply lighted, including a reading lamp at the head of the bed, and it contains additional decorative accents. The room contains a genuine Persian rug. All woodwork throughout, including flooring, is solid teak.
Guest Head Forward:
The spacious head to port adjoins the guest stateroom and is accessible from the stateroom itself and the hallway as well. The doors can be closed to afford maximum privacy for your guests. The room is generously lit with a large vanity, sink, electric commode and a stall shower. The window curtain is silk with an antique lace border, lined and interlined. There is an ample mirrored medicine/storage cabinet above the sink as well as teak storage cabinetry beneath. The flooring is the original Viking ivory-toned inlay with no imperfections.
Laundry Area:
Located in the hallway to starboard are the Kenmore washer and dryer. The present owners can attest to the fact that the washer was never used as the original drum restraint strips used for transport from the factory were never removed. This was discovered and the strips were subsequently extracted shortly after the purchase of the yacht upon instruction by the present owners, and both appliances function perfectly. Neither has been used since the test run by the Kenmore sales representative who performed this work. Therefore, they remain in as new condition. There is a convenient rod above for use in hanging clothing. These appliances are concealed from view by a paneled teak door and attractive surrounding teak moldings. The hallway flooring is also teak.
Galley:
This vessel is a galley down style. It is located opposite the dinette to starboard and has a custom teak-paneled Kenmore refrigerator and freezer which matches the original Viking cabinetry style and was commissioned by the present owners. Solid brass safety latches hold both doors in place should the vessel be underway in rough seas. The galley contains a stainless steel sink with garbage disposer, instant hot water, a three-burner electric range, a microwave-convection oven, a disposal, water heater and fresh water system. There is ample storage above, below and alongside the countertops. A central vacuum system is also included. There is also a fire extinguisher in this room as per regulations. The flooring is the original ivory-toned Viking inlay material. Numerous kitchen utensils and other decorative accents are included with the purchase of the vessel.
Dinette:
Opposite the galley to port is the dinette area with ample seating for six adults. The teak table can be lowered and the dinette converts to a two-sleeper bed. The U-shaped surround seating is custom upholstered around the large table. Complimentary decorative pillows add to the comfort and aesthetic appeal. The window treatment is of a harmonious silk textile, and the area is extremely well lit. There is commodious storage space present beneath the seating area. The flooring and surrounding surfaces in the dinette are teak with a genuine (not a knockoff) Persian carpet located to the front of the table. All areas and accessories are in as new condition.
Salon:
Up two stairs (teak), the large salon offers ample seating with custom upholstered L-shaped sofas (one containing the hide-a-bed) to port with a French desk and chair to starboard. This makes a fine computer desk as well as a writing area as the desktop lifts for storage of papers, pencils and other related items. There is a wet bar also located to starboard. Numerous compatible silk decorative pillows arranged upon the sofas are included. As is throughout the vessel, all textiles are new. The salon also has immaculate teak joinery, teak flooring throughout and generous storage space. The original Viking Sony color television is contained in its own enclosed teak cabinet as per factory. A Sony audio system, also factory original, can be played throughout the vessel. Two lamps enhance the decor. (Please note: The designers are well versed in marine applications, and every permanent decorative or accent piece has been firmly secured in order to prevent accidents while underway. Personal items such as family photographs, candlesticks and the like must, of course, be stowed beforehand.) The ceiling lighting is of the traditional yacht design with color-compatible wooden bezels surrounding each fixture. A genuine Persian carpet (sale negotiable) enhances the overall decor. Should the future buyer(s) desire a substitute of similar quality, the interior designers have access to such and would be pleased to present artistically appropriate options in a variety of sizes at no additional cost. There is an ebony English tray table in the eighteenth century style located in front of the sofas. The draperies are of an ivory tone, and the large windows to starboard and port are equipped with Magna-Vue blinds. These blinds, when open, permit much more light and views of scenery to enter the room and were installed by the interior designers at the request of the present owners who wished to eliminate the "closed in" feeling of the original conventional mini blinds.
