The PowerBoat Guide had this to say:

Built on a lengthened and reworked Viking 46 Convertible hull, Viking used the extra length of the 48 Convertible to create a huge, 144-square-foot fishing cockpit-still the largest to be found in a flybridge boat this size. Unlike the 46, the Viking 48 has a solid front windshield and a much-improved engine room. Like all Viking models, she's heavily built on a low-deadrise modified-V hull with a wide beam, a shallow keel, and balsa-cored hull-sides. In the original two-stateroom interior the galley and dinette are at mid- level. An alternate three-stateroom layout replaced the dinette with a small private cabin, and in 1989 the Plan "C" arrangement offered an L-shaped dinette on the deckhouse level and two very spacious staterooms. The 48's massive cockpit is fitted with two in-deck fish boxes, a tackle center, and a transom door-all standard. The flybridge has seating for eight. Additional features include wide side decks, a molded pulpit, and a spacious engine room. With 735hp 8V92s (standard in later models), the cruising speed is a fast 27-28 knots with a top speed of close to 30 knots.
