Viki 32 Flybridge with Yanmar 240HP Shaft Drive Diesel – SOLD

I often think that twin engines are over-rated…

Don’t get me wrong, twin engines have their place, particularly in bigger, faster boats; but to my mind the sub-35ft sector simply has too many twin engined models. I mean, think of all the drawbacks:

• They’re more expensive to feed with diesel
• They’re more expensive to maintain
• They’re more expensive to repair or refit if something goes wrong
• They’re take up more room in the boat
• They can be tricky to get to grips with if you’re not used to manoeuvring a twin engined boat

The corollary of this is that single engined boats excel where twin engined boats fall down, and this Viki 32 is no exception.

This 2004 model is in lovely condition. It has mainly been used in fresh water and has been well very looked after.

The Viki 32 Fly is a boat that has enduring appeal, with its fully teak decks throughout, teak capped coamings all around the deck and rich dark wood finishes in the interior. It’s also a boat that has the practicality and capability to match its looks. From the wide side decks to the high rails all the way around the boat, and the deep swim platform, this is a boat that you will feel secure on both at sea and in the harbour.

The big single Yanmar diesel shaftdrive motor gives the boat a good turn of speed and means that she is sure-footed underway. With a Category B hull rating she is more than capable of some extended coastal cruising…on a shoestring fuel budget I might add!

She is fully equipped with all the nav equipment you could need, including Furuno GPS Chartplotter and Radar, Raymarine VHF and Hummingbird Sounder. With the comfortable helm seat, large chart table set to starboard and the fantastic visibility through the one-piece screen, it’s plain to see this boat’s cruising credentials. The central helm position on the flybridge, the planted feel of the shaftdrive hull and the powerful bowthruster make this boat a breeze to berth.

The accommodation on board ‘aint half bad either and is surprisingly roomy for a 10 metre boat. The interior strikes a very nice balance between sturdy practicality and luxury. The quality of the fixtures and fittings is top notch and the facilities are extensive, including a 2-ring gas hob and oven, refrigerator, holding tank, macerator, and Eberspacher heating. With 4 fixed berths in 2 separate cabins (along with another occasional double in the saloon) it would make an ideal cruising boat for a couple or small family, with the option to have more guests overnight if the need arises.

I have personally known this boat for the last 10 years. We previously sold the boat to her current owner in February 2019. She is now lying in Berkshire on the River Thames and is UK VAT Paid. The images and video that you see here were shot in 2019. The boat is still in great condition, and is currently undergoing a full valet, detail and hull polish. She will be serviced and ready to go for the 2021 season – new photos are coming very soon.
