39' Viking 38 Convertible Convertible Boats

First Impressions

The Viking 38C has that classic convertible style with sweeping sheer lines and predatory windows. The flybridge has a hard top and isinglass enclosure. The hull design is a modified V with 15 degree deadrise at the transom. The 38-foot length understates the true LOA of 39? 4?. The beam is distinctly wider forward than comparables at 14? for a larger master stateroom. The draft is just over 4?. Forward most, the molded bowsprit has an integrated windlass. On the wide foredeck are two hatches which provide ventilation and access to the master stateroom below. The side decks have handrails for maneuver around to the cockpit. The cockpit has about 3? high combings with steps. Interior access is offset starboard side. This 38 has a dinette arrangement that opens up the salon abreast of the galley. The master stateroom has an island queen and ensuite head with stall shower. The head is accessible via the walk through or privately via the master stateroom. Access is via the companionway steps down to the galley and dinette. Crawl room is standard around the 485HP 671 TIB’s by Detroit Diesel. Top access is available by pulling up the two salon floorboards. A generator area is aft most starboard with an 8KW Onan. Cruise speeds are around 22 to 23 knots with a max speed of 27 knots.
