Description

The 65 Viking Convertible made it’s debut in 2000 and had it’s normal Viking run of 5 years. Well liked, as most Viking owner’s stepped up to this new model before it was introduced to the public. Prop pockets were added in 2003 and reduced the draft by almost 6″. “B. Blond III” has the popular four stateroom layout with the VIP option forward. This 65 Convertible went through an extensive refit in 2017, getting the 1,000 service performed and the W4, faux transom and toe rail, new Simrad electronics, and whole new interior. Original 1750 hours on MTU 16V2000/1800 hp engines, two gens, a Spot Zero water softner and a water maker. Her Fighting Lady Yellow hull color and bow pulpit and rails gives her profile nothing but beauty!! Make an appointment to see B. Blond III as we do not see her lasting on the market. Delivery to any perspective buyer not until after May 1st, 2023.
