Power & Motoryacht’s first look at the Viking 55 Convertible. Viking has launched a new take on the 55, and she’s ready to fish, and look good while doing it.

The partnership of New Jersey-based Viking Yachts with England’s Princess Yachts has produced yet another express cruiser on the drafting board. The project, which is meant to fill the gap between the Viking Sport Cruisers V65 and V85, includes the largest fully resin-infused hull the company has built to date.
