This Viking 44 Motor Yacht is a FRESH WATER BOAT! Designed for fast and comfortable
cruising—and showing the sleek, low-profile styling characteristics
of the Viking 46 Convertible—the 44 Motor Yacht is slightly
larger inside than the 43 Double Cabin and carries more fuel and
water. While the floorplans are similar, the 44 has a larger main
salon with the forward companionway offset to starboard. The
interior—considered very elegant by 1980s standards—is an
attractive blend of natural teak woodwork, designer fabrics and
plush furnishings. Topside, there’s plenty of space on the full-width
aft deck for entertaining, and the flybridge is arranged with guest
seating forward of the helm console. (Note that the bridge profile
was updated in 1989.) Additional features include a wide side
decks, a hardtop and arch, and steel engine mounts—a
Viking trademark. A good running boat with Detroit 485hp 6-71s TI, the Viking 44
MY will cruise at 22–24 knots. The Viking 50 Cockpit Motor Yacht
(1983–87) is this boat with a cockpit addition.
