Viking 48 Convertible SEA BLOCK

Vessel Overview

The Viking Convertible "Sea Block" began its journey as a freshwater boat on the Great Lakes. It has received the highest level of care from a full-time captain and is in immaculate condition. Primarily used for diving and spear fishing, it has also been utilized for some fishing. The vessel has low engine hours (approx. 1100 hours as of 05/26) on the upgraded 1200 hp common rail MAN engine package. "Sea Block" underwent its 1000-hour MAN service proactively in 2023 by ACE Marine. Heavily outfitted with factory options, including an SK 9 SEA KEEPER GYRO STABILIZER, it also boasts numerous custom additions. The 48 Viking is an ideal size for owner-operators and serves as a fantastic family fishing and cruising platform. As a later model with low hours and in immaculate condition, "Sea Block" offers an excellent alternative to a new build at a fraction of the price. Come see her for yourself; she will not disappoint. Below is a summary of her highlights, factory options, and customizations.

Salon

The main salon can be entered through the electric door offset to port on the forward bulkhead of the cockpit. The main deck has the traditional sportfish salon layout with integrated galley up, but with an updated more modern feel. The Viking interior showcases newer theme high gloss walnut woodwork with lighter, more contemporary colors and furnishings. There is a white leather L-shaped sofa to starboard with storage beneath. Port side forward, there is dinette seating with a high gloss walnut table. Above the dinette is a 40" flat screen TV with satellite capabilities (subscription required). Across from the dinette to starboard is the ship’s galley. The galley features everything a shipboard gourmet would require, including:

• 3 burner electric cooktop


• Microwave convection oven


• SUB ZERO undercounter refrigerator/freezer drawers (2/2)


• Custom Amtico flooring


• Exceptional storage with deep slide-out cabinet shelves

Lower Accommodations

Centerline on the main deck forward between the dinette and galley is the companionway and stairs leading down to the lower accommodations. At the base of the stairs to port is a door that houses stacked washer dryer units. The lower companionway has vertical decorative walnut strips separating wall panels. The layout below features a midship master stateroom to starboard with an ensuite head, a single berth guest room to port, and a forward VIP stateroom with a single larger custom berth, along with a second head with VIP access and day head companionway access.

Master Stateroom

The master stateroom has an island queen berth with dual nightstands. Additional master stateroom features include:

• 22-inch flat screen TV with SAT capabilities (subscription required)


• Stereo and Blu-ray player


• Climate controls


• Dimmable overhead lighting


• Decorative padded headboard


• Outboard storage and forward cedar lined hanging locker

En Suite Head

• Marine toilet


• Large shower stall with brushed aluminum shower door


• Cambria countertop and porcelain sink


• Custom Amtico flooring


• Satin nickel shower fixtures


• Brushed nickel towel bars


• Wood face lower vanity


• Decorative wall coverings

Guest Stateroom

Across the hall to port is the guest stateroom. The standard layout has bunk beds, but on factory custom order, the upper bunk was deleted from the build so the lower bunk could be raised with storage beneath and widened as much as possible. This allows an adult to sleep more comfortably without an upper bunk directly overhead. If a bunk is desired for children, it would be an easy addition.

Forward VIP Stateroom

The forward VIP stateroom was customized as well. The standard arrangement has bunk beds offset to port. The custom arrangement once again deletes the upper bunk, raises the lower berth, and significantly increases its size. This stateroom offers exceptional storage, natural light through an overhead hatch, Blu-ray player, 19” flat screen TV, dimmable overhead lights, and climate controls. The second head is accessible privately through the VIP stateroom or through a lockable companionway day head door.

Flybridge

The Flybridge of "SEA BLOCK" is accessible from the port side cockpit ladder. The bridge features a three-sided Costa Clear enclosure updated in 2023. The air conditioning on the bridge is a welcome feature during South Florida summers, and the heat is just as comforting on chilly winter fishing days.

The helm is center island style with port and starboard seating benches. Factory upgraded distressed buckskin cushions provide comfort and elegance. There is also seating forward of the helm. Behind the helm, there are Release Marine high gloss teak captain and companion chairs. The custom helm pod includes a stainless-steel wheel and single lever Palm Beach controls with bow thruster buttons built into the handles. The aft bridge rail has 6 welded-in rod holders.
