Hi, my name is Doug Donahue I'm a Viking Yachts specialist with HMY Yacht Sales in Palm Beach Florida. Today we are gonna look at a brand new model for Viking Yachts the 38 open. Here it is
with a whisper gray hull color and we'd like to welcome you aboard. So we're gonna enter and start off with the cockpit this 109 square-foot cockpit the beam of this vessel is 14 feet it has
solid fiberglass combing this is our transom fish box which is also plumbed as a live bait well 460 gallon capacity there's a high horsepower pump that provides very good flow to your bait. Over here are two full-length in deck fish boxes port and starboard side open one of these up this is a discharge for the Eskimo ice machine that's installed in the engine room that'll fill this fish box up full the crushed ice and keep your fish and everything else fresh. So if you happen to harvest something that is too big to fit in the fish box or come in the boat by conventional methods you do have a pass-through gate to your transom door. If you’re family cruising this day this is a great way to get on them off the boat and jump in for a quick swim. On the forward portion of the cockpit is a mezzanine seating area this is a very nice feature keeps you comfortable keeps you in the shade while you're watching your bait and while you're watching your anglers do what they do. You have a refrigerated drink box here storage under both of these compartments this can be refrigerated if you want extra refrigeration same thing over here so under here would be your bait freezer and just pop that cushion up and open this up and you have a bait freezer this works on the thermostat so if you want extra refrigeration one day it will refrigerate if you want a deep freeze it will also deep freeze. We're gonna step into the command deck area. This area is completely air-conditioned two L-shaped setees. Pretty good storage capacity underneath them. Ultra leather cushions with piping is a nice upgrade. This is a Release Marine teak helm chair with a nice stainless pedestal and also a Release Marine companion chair. Stepping up to the helm you can see we have a nice standing platform here teak helm pod single lever Palm Beach style controls these are the buttons for the bow thruster so you can use the bow thruster while you're working the throttle it's a lot easier for maneuvering the vessel this way. Over here is a Cummins joystick system that allows you at the dock to maneuver the boat so you can step away from the controls use the joystick you can side walk the boat you can bring the bow over the stern over and help yourself tie up it's a great feature if you're live baiting or kite fishing because you can sidewalk the boat if you have multiple hookups you can really maneuver this boat on the fish and get the lines tight so you can catch two or three or four at a time. This is the radio box this is a new switching system to this model this is all carbon fiber and push-button very clean and neat you have your VHF radios your engine controls your auto pilot Fusion stereo port and starboard trim tabs most of your features are in here and they're out of the elements so you can keep all of this stuff clean. It has your Garmin electronics package which is radar GPS sonar backup GPSnautopilot speed and distance logs it's all touchscreen and it's definitely the top of the line product out there as far as navigational equipment. If you look forward through the windshield you can see that your 360 degree visibility is very impressive on this model there's not a lot of framing in the windshield so you can really see all the way around the vessel clearly it's one of the unique designs to this particular model.Up here is recessed electric teaser Reels these are Maya US sixes so they stay up here and out of the way. So I have removed the cushion on the starboard settee and you can see the storage that we have under the command deck it is the same thing on the port side the identical same storage compartment and I'm gonna raise this up now and we can take a look at the engine room.
