Description

The 61 Viking with her innovative hull design has well established itself as the one of the most versatile sportfish boats in her class. Often times referred to as "The battlewagon" in circles of Captains and owners, with this 61 being no exception. Welcome aboard the Play It by Ear, an impressive 2003 Viking 61 that completed a full major refit in 2022. The owner performed her refit with an open budget at Caison Custom Yachts in Wilmington, NC. New, updated MTU M96 engines, Seakeeper, sonar, new Cummins generators, new paint, new interior, mezzanine and new electronics are few major items on an extensive list that was completed on the Viking during her shipyard refit. This Viking has positioned itself to be considered a semi-custom and better than factory new condition. Absolutely in Palm Beach condition! This is a rare offering to obtain one of the best performing boats ever built with all engines and equipment. A true value at her current condition and price. Seeing is believing. This will be the next 61 Viking sold. Available for a private showing today in Morehead City, NC
