    Hi Chesapeake,
    I own a 50’ 2002 Viking Princess FB MY. I agree w Silver Lining that she is a solid boat all around and drives really well. The hull is not cored. I’ve been in really bad ocean conditions and she is solid. Viking Princess and Volvo Penta offer excellent support. I have the upgraded VP 675 hp D-12s that can kiss 31.5 knots.

    I really love the boat however she may be for sale soon when our daughter leaves for college. She has undergone a $450,000 refit since 2015 on nearly every system.

    6,000-8,000 hours, probably $50-60k each

    Depending on the extent of bearings, cam, turbos, past maintenance on all H/Es and more, $5-6k per lung to start.
    Always have your injectors (new or rebuilt) tested and popped to match.

    I also have a 45 Viking Princes 2001 and am very happy with her. We currently have a water leak in the starboard stateroom and I can’t seem to locate the source of the leak. I plan to remove and reseal around the windows with hope that this will stop it. But the corking looks good on the top portions not sure about the bottom. Have you had any issues with water leaks. Thanks
