"Sokoki"l is a 1978 Viking sport fishing design sometimes also listed as a convertible design. It has lived most of its life in freshwater, highly unusual for a boat of this type. As a result it has very little corrosion on stainless and mechanical parts and equipment. The hull deck and other major components are constructed out of fiber re enforced plastic resin, FRP. All fasteners used are stainless steel unless otherwise listed.

The deck is in three sections with an open rear weather deck a mid ship main salon and an enclosed bow deck. Above the main salon is located the helm station with access by a ladder off the rear weather deck. Power is supplied by twin gasoline V8 engines in straight line configuration with reduction gear transmit ion. Fuel is in two center line mounted tanks Electrical power is supplied by shore cord power at 110 volts AC and on board battery sets of 12 volts DC.

This boat is a fine example of an offshore fishing machine, although it is also setup for weekend and extended cruising.

This boat shows much newer than it build year. The boat has been well maintained and updated as appropriate. It includes the latest generation of Raymarine axiom pro 2 with side scan sonar.
