BOAT TEST: 2004 Viking Sport Cruisers 50 Flybridge

As enjoyable as it was putting the 50 Flybridge through her paces offshore, we opted for an area of sheltered water a few miles up the Intracoastal for our performance tests. Along the way, I got to appreciate how well the 50 maneuvers at speed. Threading our way through the narrow, serpentine channel, she was as agile as a jack rabbit, taking hairpin turns easily at 30 knots or better. Throughout her full range of speeds, bow rise was negligible and sightlines were never compromised.

In calm seas or heavy swells, the Viking Sport Cruisers 50 Flybridge proved herself to be sure-footed. She just may be the one sure thing in Atlantic City, and it’s a cinch that she would be a good bet anywhere.
