There's No Substitute for Insight

Plato tells us that an unexamined life is not worth living. Similarly, at Viking we feel that an unexamined yacht isn't worth building. Now, a process of penetrating examination has culminated in the peerless three-stateroom, three head Viking 58' Convertible.

Guests will love the panoramic view and the luxurious lounge seating, refrigerator and built-in entertainment center; there's even room for a computer workstation. Enhancing passenger comfort and all-weather accessibility. spiral stairs to the salon uniquely Viking in this class of yacht are available in place of the starboard two-person lounge.

"Once up and running, the 58 is an overgrown sports car, turning 180 degrees within a couple of boat lengths even with the throttles to the firewall. The 58 is proof positive that in boat building as in real life, little things do mean a lot.” -POWER AND MOTORYACHT

Put yourself in a commanding position...

On the exhilarating open bridge, the centerline helm aft offers room for an extensive electronics suite along with an ideal vantage point above the cockpit. The extended overhang provides plenty of room around the helm seats, and there is lounge seating for twelve forward. A hardtop, full soft enclosure and recessed overhead electronics box are available to add an extra touch of civility and convenience.

We can do anything we want with this boat from hardcore fishing to cruising," says a three-time Viking owner. "We're real proud of it.”

The Lessons of a Thousand Tournaments

If the bridge is the heart of the 58, then the cockpit is certainly its soul. The 58's one-piece, uncluttered 168 sq. ft. cockpit testifies to Viking's long experience with tournament fishing. Forward is a top-loading freezer, tackle cabinet with bait prep center and centerline walk-in engine room access.

A transom door, shore power cable handling system, fresh and salt water washdowns, fresh water hookup. television and phone connection are included. A 58 OWNER Serious sportfishermen will also appreciate the recessed Marlin-sized removable (and optionally refrigerated) fishbox and available circulating baitwell. The 58 is even available tournament turnkey ready right from the factory. "There's nothing else out there that even comes close," says one Viking 58 owner. We've been amazed by the quality. It's an amazing boat and in our experience Viking really stands behind their product."

Retreat to Your Inner Sanctum

While the 58 is all business outside, just step inside to be indulged by the exquisite 224 sq. ft. salon. This spacious great room with its single level galley and dinette is the perfect setting for any occasion. The versatile U-shaped dinette complements the yacht's expansive interior with ample seating and storage room both underway and dockside.

The available spiral stairs lead directly to the enclosed bridge above, seamlessly integrating these two major living areas. There’s a wet bar with icemaker, an entertainment center, two lounges, and a large television which conceals away behind pocket doors. Generous storage space throughout the yacht ensures there will be plenty of room for everything at your fingertips.

Rest with the Best of Them

Each of the 58's three staterooms features full length cedar hanging lockers, individual A/C and stereo controls, adjustable reading lights and, overhead opening hatches. Built-in entertainment There's a centers are also available. The three heads offer built-in mirrored medicine cabinets, enclosed showers, sinks with vanities, exhaust fans and away behind pocket doors. Generous storage plenty of storage room.

Catering to Every Need

The unobtrusive galley keeps the chef fully involved in the day's activities. Full-size concealed appliances include a three-burner range, microwave-convection oven, refrigerator-freezer with icemaker, garbage disposal, exhaust fan, dishwasher and instant hot water. Storage space befits the 58's role as an extended cruising yacht. "My husband and I both cook," says one owner, "and believe me when I say we lack for nothing on our 58. Usually we don't look forward to going back ashore."

Personal Space

Situated amidships for the most comfortable ride, the master suite features a queen-size bed and a large en suite head. The guest stateroom forward also has a queen-size bed and its own en suite head. This stateroom is also available with either two or four upper-andlower single berths. The third, twin berth guest stateroom has en suite head access and contains the washer-dryer. The third head is conveniently located at the bottom of the companionway stairs.

Performing Arts

Viking gave this thoroughbred a mission: go faster than the competition on less fuel for greater range and better economy. This allows more time on station before getting that trophy fish home in plenty of time for weigh-in. Viking's well balanced hull form slices matter-of-factly through head seas while tracking as if on hidden rails with seas abaft the beam. Double chines keep her dry. Fairbody sections, reverse chines and a moderate 15 degrees of deadrise make the 58 extraordinarily stable, comfortable and efficient. A solid keel adds impact protection in case of accidental grounding.

Strength Through Unity

Composite construction used throughout the yacht blends great strength with significant weight savings for superior stability and performance. Structurally. the yacht has just two major components; the hull, and the one-piece deck-superstructure which extends from the bow pulpit to the cockpit liner. These two components become one when mechanically fastened and fiberglassed together. This same unitized construction is used in the one-piece enclosed flying bridge assembly.

"Dazzled by the living arrangements, an inattentive observer might forget that this is a sportfishing boat. Not only is the boat fast, but she makes a quantum leap from idling to planing, leaping over the hump so fast that the crew isn't even aware of it."

Built for the Long Haul

Viking has built 3,500 yachts over the last three decades, and they're doing everything they can to close in on perfection. Viking's in-house design and engineering teams do it all in-house using computer aided design and manufacturing. In fact, 90% of each yacht is made by Viking for the ultimate in quality control.

Prodigious Engineering

With convenient walk-in cockpit access, the Viking 58's ship-like all-white engine room with 71" headroom is a mechanic's dream come true. Neatly shrouded wiring and aircraft-type fuel lines are safely and unobtrusively routed through the engine room. Level engine room floors create flat work surfaces while many metal surfaces are powder-coated for incredible durability. Structural steel engine beds are mounted on low intermediate bulkheads, evenly transmitting their weight and thrust to the hull. Shaft angles are minimized, the yacht's center of gravity is lowered and engine access is improved.

"For insight into how serious Viking is about tweaking the 58, look at the recessed pads for the running gear struts to appreciate the effort that goes into areas most boat owner's never see. Areas you do regularly see—such as the engine room are a boat building textbook.”

Applied Innovation

Viking's corrosion-proof composite fiberglass fuel tanks maximize fuel system reliability while adding strength to the hull. Safety features include an automatic fire protection system in the engine room and lazarette. Cooling water intake Y-valves line up to the bilge if needed and they're located near the engine room entrance for quick access.

Viking minimizes noise levels by placing machinery inside the acoustically isolated engine room. The 58's engine room ceiling/salon floor is a one-piece seamless composite deck which effectively absorbs sound. Generators are further isolated in their own acoustic enclosures. Not surprisingly, the competitors point to Viking engineering as the industry benchmark.

Pure Inspiration

You could say that Plato's form of the perfect yacht was the inspiration when Viking built the 58. But conduct your own penetrating examination. Take a close look and go for an enlightening test drive. You'll see how creating a masterpiece can be inevitable with the right inspiration.
