How not to renovate a Viking Motor Yacht

[ralexa6808]

I don't normally say negative things about other peoples boats, but this time I'll make an exception.

Here's when bad ideas are made worse when executed.

And....Can someone tell me why would you paint new props? Barnacle deterrent?

This has to be a spoof, right? Someone just trying to see how gullible people can be ...

wood hull 44 Viking with a 44 Trojan FB?????

Best add on wooden deck I've ever seen and the only one. Looks like a custom mobile home just worse. I'm an Alabama redneck by birth and can tell who ever owns this one must have a little in him too.

Says it is the former state of Va’s governor’s yacht. I am from VA and am thinking of buying it and donating to the our current Governor and see if I can get him and the Lt Governor to take a spin on her. He could do a nice moon walk on that nicely done aft deck extension.

definitely a wooden hull boat with maybe glass over the bottom. Very sad.

That custom deck on the stern in outstanding. Can I get a yehaw!

Have dock will travel.

I don't understand what all the criticism is about. That deck looks like the perfect place to hang out and play the banjo.

I like it, but one would think that a $40K refit would have included a couple more window shakers for the salon to keep those 32 passengers comfortable. Then again, I guess most of them will be on that bridge. Either way it's gonna be a HUGE adventure!

I'll give you a yeehaw and raise you a hold my beer and watch this!

Thoughtful of him to remove the valve cover breathing hose to expose the fine oil based rustproofing on the engine.

 

[Freeebird]

He definitely missed his calling where photography is concerned.

I was looking for that quote and realized I had missed the photos of the back porch. You reckon it's teak?

Two months ago it was listed here for 55k and there might be a few more photos on this listing:

Hard to believe those engines have 400 hours on them and look the way they do.......

Thinking they just missed a 0 with the hrs 4000 seems right

Needs one of these on the back...... (put the cooling water through it and it could be heated )
