2017 VIKING 80 Convertible Compare

Built by Viking in 2017, Aussie Rules is a 24.38-meter motor yacht that delivers a well-balanced combination of performance, luxury, and versatility. This is a tournament-proven vessel that has been meticulously maintained since construction, showcasing the sought-after Skybridge model with its dual-helm advantage—an enclosed bridge for comfort and an open helm above for hands-on control.

Key specifications include a 6 stateroom / 6 head layout, a Seakeeper 40 gyro stabilizer, Furuno CSH8L full-circle scanning sonar, and a comprehensive custom electronics package. The yacht features a spacious cockpit designed for fishing action, teak decks, a Palm Beach Towers hardtop, upgraded bait tanks with custom tuna tubes, a Release Marine Trillion Series fighting chair, and a 1,000-pound-per-day ice maker. Interior amenities include a mezzanine cool-breeze A/C system with armrest cooling, luxury upgrades throughout, a watermaker, and hydraulic windlass.

Aussie Rules suits experienced yacht owners seeking a well-equipped sportfishing platform capable of extended cruising and entertaining.
