The Viking 68 Convertible was a near-instant success when it was introduced; subsequent models built on that reputation in following years. The four-stateroom, four-head layout gave it the comfort to travel long distances while the fishing amenities, including a massive 185-square-foot cockpit, made it a serious tournament contender. Running Over is a good example. The 2006 Viking 68 is located in Pompano Beach, Florida, and offered by HMY Yacht Sales for $1.499 million.
Running Over has a sharp-looking Ice Blue gelcoat hull with recent ceramic coating for easy maintenance. The 2,000 hp MTU 16V2000 engines have approximately 3,200 hours as of winter 2025 according to the brokerage team at HMY. The twin 27.5 kW Onan generators offer good redundancy and also have approximately 3,200 hours as well.
The cockpit has the following features:
- Transom livewell
- 2 deep drop electric reel outlets
- Massive bait freezer
- Refrigerated drink box
- Air conditioning vents on mezzanine seating
- Cockpit Garmin multifunction display
- 4 JL Audio speakers and 2 subwoofers with Fusion control head
- Tackle storage drawers
- Under gunwale lockers for gaffs, boat hooks and/or chamois poles
- Centerline engine room access under mezzanine
The cockpit on Running Over has a fighting chair with rocket launcher on an offset pedestal and includes a swap-out custom high gloss teak table for entertaining. There’s also an electric grill and a custom cockpit cover with sunshade and poles.
Yachting previously wrote: “Like all Vikings, the new 68 Convertible carries her engines on steel engine beds hung from substantial transverse frames. Depending on engine choice, cruising speeds range from 28 to 34 knots, with a top end of 39 knots. Propeller tunnels are molded into the hull to reduce draft to a Bahamas-capable 5 feet, 5 inches.”
Where is Running Over located? The vessel is currently lying in Pompano Beach, Florida.
