Beautiful Viking 43 Double Cabin Motoryacht! Full Cabin Enclosure - Lots of updates - Must See!
Welcome aboard the 1976 Double Cabin Motoryacht built by Viking Yachts, known for years as the top-of-the-line manufacturer and designer. This Viking 43 resides in Portage Indiana and is powered by twin 671N Detroit Diesel Engines with just 2000 hours on each.
The Viking is set up, and is great for, entertaining and comfortable as a liveaboard. You and your guests will come aboard from the swim platform ladder or gunwale through to an ample aft deck that optionally is fully covered and enclosed. A three-step ladder takes you to the Flybridge helm station with full instrumentation and controls and a 360 view of your horizon.
Spacious is the word and a tribute to the designer. A companionway three steps down take you to the large salon with plenty of storage both starboard and port side with the second helm station fore and starboard and companionway to the huge aft stateroom aft of the helm station. The cabin helm is fully instrumented as well as with good visibility.
A three-step aft companionway takes you to the largest of the two staterooms. The stern stateroom features two hanging lockers, ample storage drawers, and plenty of natural light with windows fore, port and starboard side with queen-size walkaround bed central to the room. A large head with large vanity and full shower completes the stateroom.
Forward is a generous V-berth as the second stateroom with under-bed storage, drawers, and a large hanging locker behind the privacy door. The second full head with shower is interestingly designed to share entry with the galley area of the cabin.
The U-shaped galley has a two-burner electric stove and a newer stainless steel refrigerator, kitchen sink and cabinets. A large dinette area features a table which can seat 6 and converts to a queen-size berth.
Once anchored recreation includes swimming from the swim platform, fishing from the aft deck or sun bathing from the forward sundeck with sun pads and carpet for the aft deck included.
Engine access is midships from the salon with removable floor panels in the main salon. Access to the diesel generator and dual air conditioning units, clean water, and maintenance access are here.
The Viking 43 Double Cabin includes full navigation equipment, trim tabs and helm controls, windlass and bow pulpit, air horns, remote control spotlight, a hailer, an extra driveshaft, and two extra propellers.
