House boat Viking Fantasy

We have for sale a very attractively priced ship registered house boat with working engines, high techincal value, 6 cabins, 1 bath, 2 toilets, nice saloon and huge flybridge! This house boat is 60 feet long, 4,6 m wide and 2 meter deep. Helm position both in pilot house and on flybridge.

The starting point for the project was a Viking catamaran hull that had been used in a development project to test propulsion systems for high-speed catamarans for the Norwegian Armed Forces. The project has mainly been to build the boat into a functioning houseboat and install the necessary technical installations. The boat has not been on the water since the conversion.

The project was started in 2000 and the boat was registered as custom built / self built in the Norwegian Ship Registry in 2018.

Engines:

2 Saab Iveco engines (2 x 200 hp diesels) have been installed. The engines have been started after installation in the hull, but some work on the engine and adjustment of the gear systems must be expected when the boat is on the water. It should also be considered to do a full service on the engines if you plan to use the boat on longer trips.

The installation and penetrations of the propeller shafts also remain to be completed.

Technical:

• Hull: Hull penetrations should be checked.
• Fuel system: 2 x 1000 liter tanks with tank gauges have been installed. These remain to be connected to the engines.
• Steering: Hydraulic steering with two steering pumps has been installed. Some work remains to be done here to make this function as intended.
• Water and sanitary systems: There are 2 toilets and 1 bathroom, some work remains here.
• Navigation: An older radar and an older plotter have been installed on the helm position, these have not been put into operation. This equipment is now so old that it should be replaced with a more modern solution.
• Electrical system: 12V system and 230v shore power are in operation, but should be checked, something has been temporarily installed.
