The Viking Rescyou life rafts are packed in a heavy duty vacuum packed bag. This is then loaded into the valise or canister. The vacuum pack...
I also found a picture of the hull forward that shows the forefoot around 35 degrees but also the strakes and start of the reverse chine.
I measured my deadrise aft (50 ft 1998/99 VSC Princess) using a digital level inside near the dripless shaft seals and it was 19.5 degrees, but...
At least with regards to the late 90’s early 2000’s Princess/VSC (unsure about the newer ones), they have a pronounced reverse chine, which...
When I bought our 98/99 50 ft VSC/Princess I looked at dead rise, entry and forefoot (maybe 75 percent forward) closely as having a wider weather...
Your definition is what I assumed, but wanted to be sure. There are NO poke and stick terminals on my VSC boat. Every breaker panel has screw...
Hi, I think chop and wind driven seas are where the Princess/VSC hulls do best. They have a fairly high deadrise (mine is IIRC 21 degrees) and...
Capt J will you please define poke and stick wiring. I am unfamiliar with this method and can find no information in books or on the internet....
Pascal, I think it is fantastic what you are doing to support the islands directly. We spend a few weeks in the Abacos almost every year for many...
Because I think they (Sunseekers, Viking Sport Cruisers, Sea Ray, Ocean Alexander, Fairline, Neptunus, and Ferretti) all meet the OPs requirements...
Capt J I am not going to get into a contest with you. My wiring is all original and has been flawless. Although I did replace my 19 year old...
Not knowing what his desired cruising grounds and distances are, I am going to guess based on his flybridge and salon/swimming platform comments...
The OP has a budget of a few hundred K for a 50 to 75 ft boat and is looking for a boat 5 to 20 years old. In that size range you will more...
Boat wake etiquette seems to depend very much on where you are at. In the Carolinas there is an expectation to mind your wake. Between ft...
Wow that’s a hard hit. He must have been moving fast to do that kind of damage Over the summer I witnessed a ~180 footer coming in to Atlantis to...
This is just not true. I can't comment on the new models as I haven't spent much time on recent builds. But my late 90s 50 ft Viking princess has...
Viking sells a "dry cleaning sponge" made to clean soft headliners. They work ok in general and are probably at their best for modest fingerprint...
I have Tides on my Viking Sport Cruiser. I have changed them once in nine years and when we did I added the seal and enclosure kit so I can do one...
Our 50 Viking sport cruiser is solid glass. No coring in the hull at all. Only in the decking. Bottom is solid glass with well done bulk head and...
