Description

**100% Freshwater Vessel, Low Original Hours, Custom Hardtop and Radar Arch, Custom Extended Swim Platform, Beautiful Canvas Package, and More!**
Pristine Is An Understatement - All Trades Considered
The current long time (27+ years) owners of this 43 Viking have spared no expense in keeping her in absolutely bristol condition throughout. It truly is hard to believe that this boat is a 1979 model year. The owner religiously puts 8 coats of wax on the gel coated surfaces each off-season (heated indoor stored since new) and puts most newer vessels to shame. Her canvas package is no exception being only a few years old it still looks brand new.  The popular double cabin layout features plenty of room to roam and each stateroom has his or her own heads with stall showers for total comfort and privacy.
