Introduced in 1991, the Viking 50 is best described as a scaled-down version of the Viking 53 Convertible introduced a few years earlier. She’s built on a modified-V hull with a relatively wide beam, a well-flared bow, and balsa coring in the hulls sides. Her lush three-stateroom layout is similar in most respects to her predecessor, but with reduced dimensions. The master stateroom is amidships, the place for washer & dryer has been converted to rod storage, the salon is open to the galley and a dinette. Notable features of the Viking 50 include a spacious, standup engine room, a huge in-deck fish box, direct cockpit engine room access, and a superb bridge layout with seating for eight. Updates in 1997 included newly styled frameless deckhouse windows and an extended flybridge. At nearly 60,000 pounds the Viking 50 is no lightweight. Standard power is with 820hp MANS making her one of the fastest boats in her class. (PowerBoat Guide)
