Used Viking 48 Convertible For Sale

The 48 Convertible, originally introduced in 1985, was known for its speed and quickly became a very popular Viking model. The updated second generation 48 Convertible was produced from 2002 to 2009. This third generation of the ever popular 48 Convertible was launched in 2017 after a successful 6-7 year run of the 46 Convertible (2010-2016). The larger 124 sq ft cockpit of the new 48C allows space under aft deck for a Seakeeper gyrostabilizer that has become a popular option in recent years.

DESCRIPTION

Following the accommodations floorplan of the 2-stateroom 46C, the 48 Convertible features a 3-stateroom layout with midships master and ensuite head taking up the entire starboard side. The two guest staterooms and guest/day head are on port side. Like the 46C, the companionway is shifted to port and is a change from the 48 Convertible of 2002-2009. Viking’s design team and engineers are constantly working to refine and improve each model in response to customers’ requirements and requests, new technologies, electronics, materials, and more. The tournament proven, proprietary Viking hull and systems, and distinctive sleek sportfish profile remain identifiably, Viking Yachts. The new 48C sports a black metallic windshield mask that blends in perfectly with the side windows in a graceful swash that emphasizes the fiercely elegant profile and sheerline.

Today’s 48 Convertible performs above and beyond its competition, with 30 knot cruising speed and top speed in mid 30s range powered by the standard twin MAN V8 900 CRM diesels. Owners can upgrade to 1000 hp or 1200 hp MAN engines if greater power is preferred. Fuel capacity is 1,100 gallons giving the 48C great range for distant fishing spots. And the luxurious interior and accommodations ensure the utmost comfort for longer passages. With its own woodshop and skilled craftsmen, Viking’s joinery is superb in either hand-finished teak or walnut, for the warm, classic elegance owners have come to expect of a Viking yacht. And with nearly every component made in-house, Viking is able to achieve consistent quality and production efficiencies. It also gives Viking the flexibility for custom requests.

The 17-foot beam of the new 48 Convertible expands the interior space for a roomier layout. The salon is consistent with the convertible design—sliding door entry from cockpit steps, L-shaped couch with storage underneath and cocktail table on starboard side. Across from couch is the entertainment center in teak or walnut cabinetry and features the Bose surround sound home theater system and a 40” TV is mounted on forward bulkhead above dinette. Open U-shaped galley is on forward starboard side and features peninsula counter with a raised bar top at the end—a feature borrowed from Viking’s 80 to 92-foot Convertibles!

The galley has its own electrical panel for high-end appliances include Subzero undercounter refrigerator and freezer drawers, microwave/convection oven, and 3-burner electric cooktop. Stainless-steel sink with garbage disposal is undermounted in Cambria countertop. Galley has plenty of storage in satin or gloss finished matched grain cabinetry and drawers, and Cambria countertop space for prepping/serving food and beverages. Fluted valances, frameless window treatments, walnut accents in headliner, fine materials, furnishings, and other designer touches create a luxurious yet comfortable salon area for relaxing, entertaining, and dining.

A few steps down from salon is the accommodations level. The midships master suite fills the entire starboard side, with the ensuite master head starboard forward. The large master features an island queen berth, maple-lined hanging lockers, drawer and cabinet storage, 32” wall-mounted TV and entertainment system. Ensuite head features Amtico flooring, Cambria countertops, and large fiberglass shower stall. Two guest staterooms with generous over/under bunks take up the forepeak and portside along with the guest/day head that is aft of the staterooms. Laundry center with washer and dryer are portside at bottom of companionway steps. Central vacuum system connection for lower level is in companionway. Accommodations display the same quality and elegant style of the larger Viking Yachts.

The 48C’s open flybridge is a conventional convertible arrangement with centerline helm console set to aft and extended bridge deck for walk around space. Seating is forward of helm console and to either side with plenty of storage under seats. Visibility is excellent all around with clear sightlines to the cockpit. Viking helm features custom navigation electronics packages from subsidiary Atlantic Marine Electronics, under protective clear acrylic covers. Owners can opt for hardtop with built-in electric teaser reel compartment, Palm Beach towers, outriggers, rocket launcher rod holders and more for turn-key delivery.

Hatch in extended bridge aft deck and ladder leads down to mezzanine level of cockpit. The 124 sq ft cockpit which is 2 ft larger than its 46C predecessor, offers standard amenities and equipment for serious fishing—proven over decades of offshore tournaments! Large fish boxes flank an in-deck stowage box that can be plumbed as an extra livewell. Transom livewell lid doubles as cutting board when open and can also be used as a rigging station. Freezer is in observation mezzanine bench seat and a refrigerator is in lower mezzanine step. Drink box is in top salon step.

Portside is another insulated box and a 4-drawer tackle center. Also, standard is a set of flush rod holders, gated transom door with swim steps (swim platform is an option), under gunwale storage for equipment and shore power, water, cable TV & phone connections and oil change pump-out line. As always, Viking offers optional amenities and upgrades, such as a fighting chair (backing plate is built into cockpit sole), and owners can request their own preferences, making each 48 Convertible a semi-custom yacht.

The engine room is accessed by a lift-up hatch in the mezzanine bench seat. Bright white Awlgrip finished engine room benefits from the 17 ft beam with space to maintain and service the engines and surrounding equipment. There’s plenty of space to add an Eskimo ice machine, 700 GPD Sea Recovery watermaker and other optional equipment; space is provided in aft area near transom for a Seakeeper gyrostabilizer. The 48C is equipped with Viking’s centralized seawater system designed with a second in-line back-up pump to allow air-conditioning and other systems to operate during service, simplifying maintenance—no need to shut down entire system. The engine room is expertly engineered for optimal center of gravity, sound dampening, and convenience. MAN V8 diesel engines can be upgraded from 900 or 1000 hp to 1200 hp. Running bottom of modified-V hull deadrise transforms along the chine length from sharp 36-degrees forward to 11.8-degrees at the transom for enhanced performance and efficiency, and the excellent seaworthy dry ride Viking Yachts are known for.

Viking 48 Convertible length overall is 49’1” with a 17’ beam and 4’8” draft. Fuel capacity is 1,190 gals. and water is 178 gals. Gross weight is 66,342 lbs. with standard fuel load.

A Family Affair

This new 48 Convertible is a handsome addition to the world famous Viking product line up with exciting styling, an impressive three stateroom layout with Viking’s legendary construction and attention to detail. Beginning with the same resin infused beamy hull as the new convertible, which carries its breadth farther aft for more interior volume, a wider cockpit, and more running surface, the Viking design group then turned to its pair of $1 million computer operated five-axis profiling milling machines and embarked on a prodigious course to create house and deck assemblies to produce the 48 Open, the 48 Sport Tower and the 48 Sport Coupe. In the process, Viking has once again rewritten the ground breaking rules of modern yacht design in creating fresh, contemporary models within a model.

The 48 Open with its sleek sheer line, raked stem and razor sharp entry melds perfectly with the one-piece wrap-around fiberglass windshield to produce the epitome of an athletic and racy express cruiser. Outfitted with a fiberglass hardtop and a custom tuna tower and outriggers from our subsidiary Palm Beach Towers the result is a masterful tournament contender bound for the Winner’s Circle each time the lines go in the water.

Completely unique and exciting profiles are offered with two other versions of the Viking 48 featuring a three-sided fiberglass, air conditioned deckhouse. Adding dashing definition and versatility this yacht can be further personalized with a Palm Beach Towers tuna tower for our Sport Tower version, or fitted with a radar arch or fiberglass mast for our savoir-faire Sport Coupe.

The Viking 48 Open, 48 Sport Tower and 48 Sport Coupe share a commonality of plush comfort and entertaining amenities. The 124 square-foot cockpit is ideal for fishing and other water activities. Stowage is ample throughout including a transom fish box, drink and bait coolers, recessed fish and stowage wells, and a split observation mezzanine. Space in the lazarette is provided for the available Seakeeper gyro stabilizer, which can be installed at the factory, or at a later date.

Spacious and airy, the command deck has three pedestal seats, L-shape port and starboard molded fiberglass consoles with stowage and available refrigeration. Each console is complemented with a pedestal mounted table and generous seating. The centerline helm delivers excellent sightlines, power-assisted hydraulic steering, single lever electronic controls and sophisticated communication, entertainment and navigation electronic systems from Atlantic Marine Electronics to deliver each boat turnkey ready.

The lush interior abounds with hand-finished teak joinery and spacious appointments throughout the salon including a flat screen television with surround sound. An L-shape lounge and dinette anchor the area for relaxing, dining and entertaining. To port, the galley is accented with Cambria treatments, under counter refrigeration, a microwave/convection oven and plenty of stowage. Inviting accommodations in two staterooms include a queen-size bed forward with private access to the head. A starboard stateroom has upper and lower berths.

Powered with MAN diesels the 48 Convertible will cruise at 30 knots with a top end in the mid 30 knot range depending upon engine selection, load, sea and other environmental factors. The raked entry and forward chine are designed to pierce through head seas and divert spray downward. Convex hull sections add curvature and form to the running surface, while molded running strakes accentuate lateral tracking and maneuverability.

Whether moving up or moving down throughout the Viking fleet, you will find these new Viking 48 models true blue-water champions in spirit, performance, accommodations and evolutionary prowess in the herald Viking tradition.

Viking Yachts 48 Convertible

The first Viking Yachts 48 Convertible was originally launched back in 1985 and it didn’t take long for industry experts and anglers alike to grade it as best in class. The popularity of the 48C back then gave it a five-year shelf life before a newer model was re-designed, but dozens of boats were built and sold in that time period. The 48 was known for its speed back then and it seems not much has changed in the current 48 Convertible. With a cruising speed of 30 knots and a top end speed in the mid-30 knot range, today’s Viking 48C is heads above its competition, even with the base engine package. Owners have the choice of powering their 48 with the standard MAN V8 900CRM twin engines or opting to upgrade to either the MAN 1000hp’s or MAN 1200hps’s. And with a fuel capacity of over 1,100 gallons, the Viking 48 will keep you fishing and cruising for as long as you can handle.

The interior of the Viking 48 is what you’ve come to expect from the team at the factory in New Gretna, New Jersey. Because almost every component is made and installed in-house, every Viking goes through an excellent quality control process to achieve a consistent excellent result. And because Viking has its own woodshop, you will find hand-finished teak or walnut joinery throughout the interior depending on the new owner’s tastes. The salon features the signature L-shaped lounge and cocktail table as well as a dinette to seat everyone on board in the same area. Are all of the guests on board for an overnight trip? This is no problem on the Viking 48 as the popular layout offers three staterooms and two heads as well as additional comfort features like the laundry center and central vacuum.

The Viking team aimed to make the cockpit on the 48 Convertible even better than its predecessor – the 46 Convertible. The cockpit on the 48C was increased to 124-square feet along with the space that holds the optional Seakeeper Gyro Stabilizer. And like with all Vikings, there is an abundance of standard fishing features for the serious angler. There are fish boxes laid out forward and aft along with an in-deck livewell with plumbing all ready to go. Even the lid to the livewall also serves as a cutting board when opened and can also be used as a rigging station. Viking company captain Ryan Higgins remarked about the cockpit on the 48C, “This is where it all happens on a fishing boat like this. We made sure it happens in the right way once the boat is in the bite.” Whether you are looking to enter the billfish tournament circuit or just want to casually fish and cruise with friends, the team at Staten Island Yacht Sales can help you get into the Viking 48 Convertible of your dreams.
