Overview

The 65 Viking is one of the best-selling Viking Convertibles of all time. The 2004 65 Viking Convertible, "Tricia III" is a fantastic example of this classic model. She features the optional and more desirable four stateroom arrangement, a full tower, teak decks, 2000 series MTU power, twin generators and a whole host of other value-added features. In 2003 the hull bottom of the 65 was re-designed with prop pockets to reduce the draft by a full foot.  "Tricia III" is a highly desirable shallower draft 65 model. She has been used exclusively as a cruising vessel under her current ownership but offers the best of all worlds with tournament level sportfishing features as well as cruising comforts. "Tricia III" is priced for an immediate sale and offers tremendous value. Below please find a list of her features, highlights, and customizations.
