2018 Viking 48 Sport Tower

" SEA SUITE" is the best equipped 48 Viking Sport Tower currently on the market! Significant updates in 2024 and 2025 and only 980 hours on her MAN 1200 hp engines, meticulously maintained by her owner with an open checkbook and all MAN services are up to date and all systems are functioning properly.

This is a beast of a fishing machine with lots of upgraded features. The ZF JMS joystick maneuvering system with i-anchor and i-drift features and recently upgraded software is a game changer when it comes to deep drop, bottom fishing and drift fishing. She also has a new Garmin electronics package, hydraulic bow thruster and hydraulic outriggers. Under seat port side cockpit freezer, port and starboard mezzanine refrigerator boxes, port cockpit sole refrigerator fishbox and starboard side cockpit sole boxes insulated for additional cold storage. Equipped with New Water Maker and Freshly Serviced Ice Chipper

The MAN M4 services performed on main engines at 590 hrs. Only 2 hours since recent oil and filter change on mains generator and transmissions and new impellers in mains. Bottom recently cleaned and applied fresh prop speed to props and running gear. This Viking 48 Sport Tower is as truly turn-key and ready to go as they come, and all for a fraction of the price of a new boat!

Take advantage of the Current Owners updates and upgrades and take delivery of a Viking with no " shake down cruise" and no additional updates needed, as she is ready with all the best equipment to go fishing or cruising for the Spring this year.

Owner will consider trades for late model 36-44 range CAT or mono hull center console sport fish.
