Viking 68 Convertible RUNNING OVER

2006 Viking 68 Convertible “Running Over”

The 2006 Viking 68 Convertible “Running Over” combines the DNA and equipment of a tournament battlewagon with the features and comforts that will also appeal to a family fishing and cruising program. Versatility is a great word to describe “Running Over”. She has benefited from meticulous and knowledgeable family ownership and an equally meticulous full-time crew. Her wide beam (19’4”) and 15-degree deadrise are hull design attributes that give the 68 a stable, comfortable and well-rounded ride. Her 16V 2000 series MTU power package provides excellent performance and reliability. Twin 27.5 KW Onan generators offer power supply redundancy. The interior layout is spectacular with a 4 stateroom 4 head arrangement. The aft bunk bed stateroom functions very well for crew as it has immediate engine room access through the private head aft bulkhead door. The 2006 Viking 68 Convertible “Running Over” must be seen to be fully appreciated.
