Very rarely in today's market do we get the opportunity to sell one of Viking's most desirable models in this condition. Since the current owner took possession nearly two years ago "Unfair Advantage" has undergone an intense refit of almost every aspect of the boat. Everything from the HVAC, Electronics, Soft goods, and mechanicals have been updated. Currently, she just received her 1000-hour service and has very low hours on her over-hauled engines. A new Generator was also just installed capitalizing the finishing touches on this major refit. A tried and proven platform this Viking 55 captures nearly every benefit of a sportfish. She features 3 staterooms and 3 heads with a large salon and galley. A comfortable cruising speed of 28 knots and ample range make this a great platform for nearly any location.
Located in North Palm Beach she is easy to show and every service record has been documented and will be made available with an accepted offer. Call today to schedule your private showing.
