1999 Viking 47 ConvertibleSold

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 47’s salon feels larger than her length suggests, with that classic Viking sightline straight from the cockpit through to the helm. Trilogy’s wide beam gives you a stable platform when the seas get lumpy, and the deep cockpit freeboard keeps crew comfortable and secure while working a spread or handling kids and pets. Engine room access is straightforward, with the space and layout that make routine checks less of a chore. Up top, the bridge offers excellent visibility to the bow and transom corners, so docking or backing down on a fish feels precise, not stressful. It’s a boat that invites long weekends and long runs offshore in equal measure.

This 47 Convertible shines in waters where you might run a mixed program—trolling canyons one weekend and raft‑ups or cruising harbors the next. The hull’s proven offshore pedigree handles shifting tides, afternoon chop, and longer seasonal stretches on the mooring with confidence. Shallow enough to explore inshore channels yet substantial for bluewater, it bridges the gap between hardcore sportfish and comfortable family cruiser. The layout works well for extended stays aboard when a long shoulder season keeps you on the dock more than underway, and the generous cockpit and flybridge make the most of crisp fall striper runs and warm summer evenings alike.
