Viking 58'

Viking it is a very well built boat, the 58' Sport fish have a very dry ride and slice through the waves very comfortable, in any kind of seas.
The MAN engines, I can't help you in that. The only report I know is, at this vintage they had some problems and I believe MAN have since correct it .My 58 it is power by a pair of MTU's (Mercedes Benz) 12 V 183 ; 1150 HP very economical and extremely dependable, the only draw back is ;while cold smoke's.
I believe you will be very delighted with the 58' .Like any boat, proper maintenance it is the culprit .
