1975 Viking Sportfish , 35 ft

Description

I am relisting because of a non-paying bidder, so I want to make the situation clear at the start. I purchased the boat sight unseen, based on the description and the price, but as it turns out, the cost of repairing the fuel tank and transporting was higher than I expected, and so I am reselling the boat. I have no personal knowledge of the boat, but will answer any questions I can, and I have posted a summary of the previous owner's description. The boat is registered in Connecticut. To get the boat registered in your name all that is required is a bill of sale from the previous owner/s which will be provided on receipt of payment. If you have questions, the Connecticut DMV web site is very clear.. So if that is not okay, please don't bid. _____________ My loss is your gain! I purchased this boat recently with the hope that I would bring it home and retire on it, but it turns out that the cost of replacing a fuel tank and then transporting it is more than I can afford. I am including a paraphrase of the previous owner's description since I have no personal knowledge of the boat. It books on NADA for around $20,000.00 so for someone closer and able to oversee what needs to be done, you can get it for a great price and have a reallly nice boat. Summary of previous description: Boat is sold as is. Is in very good condition. See photos for description of improvements and upgrades. Note, new flybridge enclosure is included but not shown in pictures. One family has owned the boat for over 30 years. The boat has been constantly updated with love and care. Only thing left original are the fuel tanks, at least one of which leaks and needs replacing. Boat has 2 zone AC, newer Koehler 8 KW generator with 400 hrs. Newer Raytheon color radar, satelite TV, custom hard top, all newer aluminium railings, newer fiberglass swim platform and pulpit with newer anchor windlass. Bottom has been stripped and barrier coated, corian counter tops in galley with new refrigerator and princess oven. And the list goes on. See the photos for upgrades . That is the extent of the previous owner's description, but as you can tell, the boat has been well cared for. The engines reportedly run well. The boat is in Norwalk CT. A deposit of $500 is due within 48 hrs of the end of the auction, and then the remainder within 7 days. You will be responsible for storage for the end of the auction. This is a no reserve auction, so bid to win, and take advantage of this great opportunity.
