46 Convertible

Ascending mid-size luxury and performance in the Viking tradition.The Viking 46 Convertible promises to set uncompromising standards in its class. Built to deliver the utmost quality and performance, the convertible showcases Viking’s relentless commitment to excellence.

Starting with an all new hull and running surface, the 46 Convertible takes extreme advantage of the ground breaking design heralded with the introductions of the Viking 60 and the Viking 50. The performance and sea keeping qualities of its stable mates validated Viking’s design, engineering and production teams’ pursuit to take Viking’s world wide recognition for outstanding quality and achievements to still higher levels. The 46 Convertible follows this overwhelming success in a slightly smaller envelope making it an ideal choice for the owner/operator seeking Viking’s more than four and a half decades of boat building expertise in a scaled down version of its tournament winning champions.

The Viking 46 Convertible easily sets itself apart from the competition with its performance. The new running surface offers the clear benefits derived from its convex deadrise shape with an aggressively raked entry and sharpened waterline sections. Adding form to the bottom by utilizing the convex deadrise, the result when matched to the wide beam, which carries well aft, is one of increased lifting motion in a head sea. This buoyancy combined with the sea parting ability of the convex hull delivers a noticeable softer and dryer entry. The result is a big boat ride despite its modest overall length. Running strakes along the bottom, as well as the knife-like waterline sections will make spray a distant memory.
Performance is further enhanced with the inclusion of weight saving features including vacuum-bagged end grain balsa in the bottom, laminated end grain balsa in the hull and top sides, as well as resin infused fiberglass fuel, freshwater and holding tanks. It should also be noted that because Viking designs its own tankage, each cell is designed to fit low in the hull structure for better stability and maximum capacity and draw. Prop pockets in the hull reduce the draft to 4 ft. 5 in. with the standard MAN V8 900 mhp common rail diesels. This power package will provide 30 knot cruising speeds and a range of over 350 nautical miles. Also available are 1100 mhp V10 MANs. Read More >
