This fully loaded 43’ Viking Open is an exceptional fishing boat, combining tremendous eye appeal, speed and comfort. One cabin, one head. Couch converts to a bunk that sleeps two.

Waterbender has recently undergone an extensive refit (overhaul completed June 2018) of most systems including having both engines rebuilt by an authorized MAN dealer – now with only 225 hours and a new paint job. She has the upgraded and reliable MAN 800’s. The helm deck area is very comfortable with a large L-shaped settee, center helm with electronic controls and a new custom fabricated locking entry door. The helm deck area has 32,000 BTU’s of air conditioning which allows comfort on even the hottest days. The cabin below has been updated with custom flooring, back-splashes and bedding. She is fast, solid, very stable and VERY fish ready.

Anyone looking for a fishing vessel of this size should take a serious look at Waterbender.
