Appropriately Named BLACK MAGIC; This 40 Viking is the best example of a rugged classic sportfish or a great cruising yacht from one of the most legendary American yacht builders .

* Brokers Observations: This 40 Viking SF impressed me. Its a lot of boat for the money. When I went on board the first time, her shear size lets you know you're on a real SF yacht. These classic sportfish offer the best possible value to own a yacht at an extraordinarily reasonable price. In todays market new boats like this sell for almost a million dollars or more. These convertibles allow you to do the same boating and yachting for a fraction of the cost. In some cases these sizes are no longer available from the original builders. On this one there is lots of upgrades and when I was visiting they were laying down new carpeting. This is one of those special opportunities to acquire a big yacht at a very low reasonable price. And don't forget if you are considering living on board this is a great potential livaboard yacht.

* Along With This Great Yacht Comes A Little Bit Of BLACK MAGIC.
