Viking's Game-Changing Fleet of Center Consoles
Since its inception in 2019, Valhalla Boatworks (VBW) has established itself as the world leader in semi-custom high-performance luxury center consoles. Created, owned and operated by the Viking Yacht Company, the legendary builder of the world’s finest sportfishing yachts, Valhalla Boatworks offers seven center consoles from 28 to 55 feet in its game-changing V Series.
Like the Viking fleet, the V-33, V-37, V-41, V-46 and V-55 deliver unmatched performance, engineering, comfort, quality and fishing capabilities. The V Series center consoles thrive as hard-core fishing boats, fun family sport cruisers or luxury yacht tenders. The recently announced V-28 and V-29 will also provide unmatched capability and accommodations.
The V Series is the result of the cooperative effort of the Viking Design & Engineering team and Michael Peters Yacht Design (MPYD). The V Series utilizes MPYD’s patented Stepped-V Ventilated Tunnel running surface that reduces drag while increasing speed, stability and efficiency.
“It’s the most advanced and proven stepped-hull design in the world,” says Viking Design Manager David Wilson. “The twin steps and tunnel not only give you fast and efficient performance but also precise handling and a very stable ride.”
The design traits of Viking convertibles can be seen throughout these center consoles. Proud bows, gently sloping S-shaped sheers, double forward chines, helm pods, raised toe rails and mezzanine seating are some of the hallmarks. Viking engineering and mechanical prowess shine through, with customized Seakeeper installations that maintain storage or deck space and mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems designed and built to unprecedented levels. You’ll be hard pressed to find a center console with a higher level of fit and finish than a Valhalla.
The same resources of Viking’s vertically integrated company are at the disposal of Valhalla Boatworks owners, so standard and custom components and systems of each build such as hardtops, marlin or gap towers and electronics packages are being designed and installed in-house by our experienced shipwrights to guarantee turnkey delivery. Hardtop packages can be loaded with top-shelf components in flawless installations.
Valhalla Boatworks offers outboards from both Mercury and Yamaha in twin, triple or quad applications depending on the model. The efficiency of the stepped-hull design combined with the advanced outboard technology provide best-in-class speed, fuel economy and range. Low engine-noise and vibration levels, electronic power steering and optional joystick helm control systems with GPS station-keeping make operating your V Series an enjoyable, stress-free experience.
Bottom Line: The V Series stands out as a truly unique fleet of center consoles in a market saturated with similarity.
Please contact Valhalla Boatworks for more information about any of these models.

Try going to the Vintage Viking Fan Club here on Yacht Forums. You may be able to get some more input for your Viking 43 there too. You would be welcome there. I have a 1988 Viking 44 Motor Yacht but only for a year so I am not much help. There are some senior members there that might be able to help with a wide variety of questions.

Viking Yachts History
Viking yacht company celebrates over five decades: a hull of a story.
Not too long ago, though, the picture at Viking was anything but rosy. When the double-whammy of a nationwide recession hit in 1990, followed by the introduction of a federal luxury tax in 1991, the company went from 1,500 employees in two plants to just 80 employees in one plant. In general, the marine industry went into a tailspin that resulted in massive plant shutdowns and a significant rippling effect of related closures as ancillary businesses, such engine manufacturers, equipment producers and other vendors saw their markets dry up.
The Healeys borrowed working capital and invested their own money to keep the company afloat. Bob Healey also was instrumental in organizing a national, grass-roots campaign to fight the tax based on a loss of jobs issue. In taking the industry lead, Bob organized busloads of out-of-work boat builders that converged on Capitol Hill. Other demonstrations took place on a regular basis around the country to plead for support in repealing the tax. In Rhode Island, a boat was set on fire aboard a barge in Narragansett Bay as a symbol of protest. It took better than two years, but by 1993 the luxury tax was history and Viking was poised to flex its muscles as boat buyers returned to the market. It is interesting to note that Viking's decision to remain open, despite dismal sales attributable to the luxury tax allowed the company to tool up for new models. Thus, when the tax was lifted, Viking roared to the front line leapfrogging over its competition firmly establishing Viking as the dominant builder in its class.
In dealing with an owner base that is constantly seeking new and larger models, Viking produced the Custom 105, built in Viareggio, Italy, to Viking's specifications by Versilcraft. The new yacht made its premiere at the 42nd Annual Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show in October 2001 and was awarded the National Marine Manufacturers Association Innovation Award at the Miami International Boat Show in February 2002.
In February 2002, Viking opened a new service facility in Riviera Beach, Florida, near Palm Beach, to accommodate Viking owners who bring their boats south for the winter. The new facility features slips for in-water work, as well as land storage to handle larger projects and outfitting. A 125-foot by 150-foot shed with 50 feet of clearance will accommodate boats with tuna towers for indoor work.
In December 2002, the Bass River Marina, adjacent to the Viking Yacht plant was bought back by the Healeys and reflagged the Viking Yachting Center. It was at this marina where the Healey brothers started their maritime careers. The brothers sold the property in 1964 when they devoted all of their energies to boat manufacturing.
In early 2003, Viking formed two new companies, Atlantic Marine Electronics (AME) and Palm Beach Towers (PBT). Atlantic Marine Electronics is based at the Viking Yachting Center (with a satellite office in Riviera Beach) and is responsible for the sophisticated electronic navigation packages, which are installed aboard Viking Yachts and Viking Sport Cruisers. Based at the Riviera Beach, Florida, facility (with additional service bays at the Yachting Center), Palm Beach Towers designs and builds tuna towers and fabricates other aluminum and fiberglass components for Vikings and other yacht brands.
At a very special breakfast presentation on October 29, 2003 during the International Boatbuilders’ Exhibition & Conference in Miami Beach, Florida, Viking Yachts’ Bill and Bob Healey were recognized by their peers and inducted into the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) Hall of Fame for their selfless contributions to the recreational marine industry.

4 Most-Common Problems With Viking Boats (Explained)
Viking Boats has been a leader in cruising motor yachts and luxury sport fishing boats.
The Viking company has been in existence since the early 60s. They have built a solid reputation as a reliable motor-yacht brand.
We already looked at how reliable Viking boats are , and now we’ll turn to the most seen issues with these fine boats.
They use quality materials and continually update their innovative techniques for boat construction.
Viking Yachts have managed to keep the company afloat during difficult times to become one of the world’s leaders in semi-custom fiberglass boat production.
If you are shopping for a Viking Boat, you have come to the right place. In this article, we will share the most common concerns faced by boat owners.
We have searched through all the Viking information to find the issues you might face with a Viking Yacht.
Table of Contents
1) Water Intrusion
While there are not many problems Viking boat owners have with their boats, looking through the forums, there are some problems that owners do have.
One of these problems is hairline cracks in different areas of the boat. Some of the areas you may find them are on the open bow, hatches, and on the hull.
Typically, these cracks are just cosmetic and do not allow water intrusion or moisture. If these cracks allow in moisture, there could be rot. It would be best if you verified that no moisture is getting in by doing a moisture test.
Most often these cracks do not look good on the boat and you will want to fix the problem with the cracks. You can fix most of these cracks yourself.
2) Engine Bed System
Viking boats use a unique engine bed system that can have problems where they attach to the hull. Therefore, you want to inspect these points of attachment carefully.
You want to pay attention to the stringers. If the holes are not lined up correctly, you may not want to purchase that Viking. In many cases, this type of stringer problem is because someone drilled holes where they do not belong.
When the holes are drilled in the wrong place, it is expensive and could be beyond repair.
3) Older Model Boats
Viking has been through many changes over the decades. They also had some rough moments when they had to slim down their crew of employees.
However, they managed to make it through the tough times to create a solid reputation for constantly improving their boats.
If you have an older boat or are interested in purchasing an older boat, there are some issues you should look out for when looking at the boat.
The older versions of Vikings have wood stringers which have a tendency to rot. In addition, these older models may have engine mounts that are loose. Unfortunately, these problems are not universal for every Viking model.
Some of these problems could be as a result of someone building the boat incorrectly. If you want to purchase a used Viking, you should have a qualified marine surveyor assess the boat.
4) Old Viking Boat Parts
Viking boats are still going strong, and they are making durable and reliable boats.
Unfortunately, this also means that the parts for Viking boats are still being made.
Viking Yachts has created a large network where their customers can look for older or spare parts. They also have a customer service team is full of experts that have been trained on all the different models and systems.
Even when a customer is looking for a replacement part, that is hard to find. The customer service team can help customers find any part for all their boating needs.
General Pros and Cons for the Viking Yacht
Viking Yachts have a reputation no other boat builders can claim. Hardly any other boat manufacturer can make this assertion.
Viking uses their own production facilities to manufacture all parts for their boats, with the exception of engines, electronics, transmission systems, and air conditioning units.
Viking Yachts pay attention to all details when building their boats. No matter if it is the wiring harness, fiberglass fuel tank, or a hull-to-deck through-bolted joint.
Viking Yachts use a vacuum suction process on their boats. This process is in combination with the resin infusion of the fiberglass sheets.
This process sucks the air from the molding and pulls the resins in to replace this space. In addition, this process pulls composite material evenly in all sections of the molds.
- Some models have cracks that may allow water to get in.
- Older models may have stringers in the wrong place due to poor building.
- Some older models may contain rot where water has come in.
What Do the Reviews Say?
While there is some mention of water intrusion, it is not a wide spread problem.
Even if you find a boat with some amount of water intrusion, it may not be enough to prevent you from purchasing the boat.
“You could survey the areas for water intrusion with tapping and or moisture testing. Having said all that, they are rarely a deal breaker but should be taken into account. I don’t like them unattended, but bazillions of boats float around quite happily with them.”
[Source: yachtforums.com]
Viking boats have continued to build better, more innovative, and more durable boats. Each new boat model is an improvement on the one that came before.
“Owner and dealer feedback contribute the input necessary to accumulate all the knowledge that adds up, checking every box for the boat’s purpose.”
[Source: marlinmag.com]
What is the Resale Value on the Viking Yachts?
For those that can afford a Viking Yacht, they find that they hold their value well.
There are not many brands in the industry that have had the success the Viking has. They have a high owner satisfaction. Many owners have bought more than one Viking.
These boats sell well and for a high price on the pre-owned market. They sell quickly, and the resale price is often close to the original price.
Viking yacht sales are up over 50%, especially specific models. Viking 52, 54, and 56 models that were built between 2002 to 2008 are so popular that they are selling before they make it to the market.
Viking yachts that were built between 2000 to 2015 are also selling really well. So again, this is a strong market for used Vikings.
Not only do they have a high resale value, but Viking lasts a long time. Their fiberglass hull can last as long as 50 years, as long as you have taken great care of the boat.
Final Thoughts
Not only does Viking have a solid and proven reputation, but their designs are also technologically advanced while providing exact handling and stability.
The Viking company is still owned by the brothers that originally founded the company. They continue to have a family run business. Their factory is in New Jersey and employs over 1,300 employees.
They work to build a better boat every day, and with every model they build. Today, they offer 36 different yachts. They build 90% of their own boats but also have partnered with two companies to ensure the highest quality parts.
Palm Beach Towers provides aluminum tuna towers which Viking Yachts use because of their quality design and engineering.
Palm Beach Towers builds custom accessories from fiberglass and aluminum. These parts include rod lockers, fiberglass hardtops, and electronic boxes. When you customize your Viking Yacht, you can add any of these accessories.
Atlantic Marine Electronics is the other partner for Viking Yacht. They manufacture accessories such as entertainment, navigation, and communication systems.
These items can also be added to your yacht when you are ordering and customizing your next boat. For example, you may want to add an entertainment system, a multiple stations layout, and a single helm station package.
