My son wants to move up to a 44 Viking MY from a 37' Silverton. Does anyone have any thoughts on these boats? Not a Hatteras of course, but seem well built from what I can see.

Also they typically have DD 671TIB's. What's the life expectancy when pushing a 40,000 pound boat?

Thanks,
Bob

PS, if anyone knows of a good 44 for sale, please let me know.
