Viking 65 Updated Pics from Florida
Landed in Ft. Lauderdale at 5:04pm on Sunday drove around for about a hour or so before heading to the hotel to crash for the night. Next day woke up went to the marina, the survery's were hard at work. Took the boat over to be pulled out to check the bottom. Once we looked it over put her back in and out we went to she how she ran.
Boat preformed on a level I never thought it would. Cruise 32knots at 1725rpm 80gallons a hr. Max 40knots at 3250rpm at 200gallons a hr (ouch). Boat turned on a dime and would get up and be on step within seconds. Very Smooth and easy controls.

Re: Viking 65 Updated Pics from Florida
Awesome. Good luck.

Are those trim tabs between the props in the 3rd picture? Do trim tabs have much effect on a boat that large?

Re: Viking 65 Updated Pics from Florida
Very nice!

Trim tabs do make a difference on plaining hulls.
