VIKING 38 Convertible - Twin Detriot Diesel 6-71 Ts with 485 HP each!! Only 1,900 hours!! Great Price! Perfect Project Boat!
If you've been searching for a classic sportfishing convertible with proven Detroit Diesel power and major electronics upgrades already completed, this 1990 Viking 38 Convertible is an opportunity worth considering.
Powered by twin Detroit Diesel 6-71 Turbo engines rated at 485 HP each with approximately 1,900 hours, this Viking offers the legendary durability that made these boats highly sought after among serious boaters and fishermen. The vessel runs well, floats as she should, and provides a solid platform for someone looking to enjoy the boat now while continuing to add their own finishing touches.
Since purchasing the vessel, the owner has invested significant time and money into updating and maintaining key systems. With no previous service records available, the engines and generator were serviced, with maintenance dates and engine hours documented directly on the filters for easy tracking moving forward.
The electronics package has been modernized with dual Garmin chartplotters, radar, dual VHF radios, AIS, and updated antennas, providing the navigation and communication equipment today's boaters expect. A rudder position indicator was also installed to make close-quarters maneuvering and docking easier.
The fuel system received attention as well, with the diesel tanks drained and refilled with fresh fuel. Amsoil Diesel All-In-One treatment has been consistently used to help protect and lubricate the fuel system.
Inside, remodeling of the salon has been started, including replacement panels, subfloor work, and installation of a template panel on the starboard side. The remaining interior work gives the next owner the opportunity to customize the boat to their own taste while building equity in a highly respected Viking hull.
While we will always attempt to provide you with a TRUE representation of every vessel we market, during any purchase from Pop you will be encouraged to schedule an inspection from an independent, accredited surveyor and every purchase WILL ALWAYS BE subject to your satisfaction with the results from your independent survey and your own personal trial run.
Condition:
This is not a turnkey vessel, but it is a running, floating, mechanically maintained project boat with substantial upgrades already completed. For someone looking to own a classic Viking Convertible without paying premium market prices, this is a chance to finish a great boat and enjoy years of offshore fishing, cruising, and family adventures.
Last bottom paint was in 2020.
No soft sport detected, no musty smells, no signs of water damage. There was was evidence of termites around the windows and flooring. Great looking boat with lots of potential. The seller doesn't have time to complete. Selling as-is and the price reflects. Don't delay in having the opportunity to own a Viking with lots of potential for years to come.
