I wasnt aware they made a 61 Express.

No. They don't. It is a 61 Convertible. Mistake, but I can't seem to get the pictures loaded..............and I have done it before.

Nice Seacraft. Always been one of my favorite boats.

Looks like a great day was had by all

Auguste,

It was a great day. It was a little earie though. After we crossed about 40 miles offshore the sea went from calm to 7 to 8 feet very rapidly. I must have been the edge of a frontal system because when we headed back in the see was calm again inside of that boundary.
It is difficult to tell from that 1st photo, but the seas were no 2 to 4 footers.

I have some other pics that won't load onto the the site for some reason- I can't understand it because they are all under 300 KB.

Awsome pix man. Gotta love dem Vikings

Some day..........

61 would be a huge express.The largest one I have seen is a 58. That would be a waste of boat really.

Not to be nosey..but what is the name on that...I know its a 05 cuz of the cockpit mezz and its in Canyon Club in Cape May. it looks like the demo boat...

mbenzing · 09-19-2005, 08:17 PM

It is the demo boat. I believe the name is Viking 61

That is just not fair. I am use to eating soggy PB&J sandwiches while fishing. Awesome pics and incredible boat. Really is a different level.

How sweet it is!!!!!

Very nice indeed......that first pic showed some very nasty seas......the perfect time to be on a 61 ft floating condo.

fishcop · 09-20-2005, 11:46 AM

Ive got wood!

Oh yeah. Here is something I don't recommend if you are heading into heavy seas even if you are on a floating condo.

When I was a kid I got very sick on York peppermint patties at a fair. Ever since then, I have not been able to eat them. Well the freezer was stocked with Ice Cream on this boat and I spied a Klondike Bar with my name on it. Well I took a bite out of it and it was a mint Klondike. I felt queezy the rest of the trip! So don't eat a food that you have previously been violently ill on when heading into choppy seas!
