1996 Seafarer Viking 5.5m with brand new Suzuki 140hp 4 stroke in REDCLIFFE, Queensland for sale
Immaculately presented 1996 Seafarer Viking 5.5m with Brand New 2015 Suzuki 140hp Lean Burn 4 Stroke done 4 hours only. 5 year warranty. Includes 2 x GMI20 electronic gauges and Suzuki engine cover. These engines are extremely fuel efficient and with a 170L fuel tank, this vessel has a cruising range of around 500km. The 140hp is very lightweight (weighing 3kg less than the 100hp). As the photo shows the boat is very well balanced in the water.
A brand new bimini with front and side clears has just been fitted, which gives excellent headroom so you can stand while at the helm. The rear seats and side pocket have also had new upholstery fitted.
This is a very dry boat, with no spray when sitting on the rear seat, so it is excellent for passengers when cruising. When the seat is down it is great for fishing with enough room for your feet to slide under the seat.
Over $18,000 has just been spent on the engine, bimini and upholstery renewal.
Also included is the original 1996 Tinka Classic dual axle Trailer with new LED lights. Also in excellent condition with no rust. It has 5 good light truck tyres and is registered until Feb 2016. With a gross ATM of 1990kg and fitted with mechanical brakes, it is basically maintenance free, and the dual axles make towing a lot easier and safer.
This boat is ready to go fishing/cruising with nothing to be spent in order to hit the water. The following items are also included:
Hydraulic Steering.
Lowrance HDS 5 GPS/Sounder Combo
Navionics Gold Australia wide map
VHF and 27 Meg radio
Dual batteries with Isolator
LED deck light
Rocket launcher with 6 x rod holders (10 in total)
Baitboard
Live bait tank + storage tank
Epirp + 4 life jackets
Folding rear seat
Sand and reef Anchor
Arguably, the Seafarer Viking is the best 5.5m offshore boat ever built and this is one of the best examples you will find. If you are in the market for the best 5.5m boat around, do some research and see what people have to say about this awesome hull and how it compares to a Haines Hunter or Haines Signature of the same size. All great boats but in my opinion this is the best of them.
This vessel has only had 3 owners and has been garaged its entire life. The boat presents without a mark on it and would suit the fussiest of buyer looking for a new boat or an excellent example of this classic hull.
Unfortunately a change of circumstances has resulted in this magnificent boat needing to be sold.
