1998 Viking 54 Sport Yacht "MRS. CHIPS"

No matterwhat size the yachts areon thedock alongsideMRS. CHIPS,they cannot compete with her timeless good looks andexquisitemaintenanceprogram. She shines like a diamond in bright daylight and glimmers spectacularly like the most beautiful South Sea pearl in theeveninglight.She is waxed a minimum of twice a year and is kept to 'White Glove" standards.No where in the entire yacht can you not find everything kept in superior condition.MRS. CHIPSwill run circles around most Motor Yachts her size with a very nimble turn of speed,22 knots @ 1850 RPMand will top out at an exhilerating34 knots.

MRS. CHIPSwas painted from the bottom of her keel to the top of her hard top (2017), but looks like she just came out of theVIKINGpaint shed today.Herpaintwork wascompleted in whiteIMRONandwas also top coated with clearIMRON,providing a deep lustrousfinal product. Accent striping and water lines are in red andgreen. Prior to the completionof her spectacularpaint work, her bottom was sandblastedand 2 coats of epoxy were applied. There were no blisters to be found.

Startingforward on the deck one finds customMARQUIPTfender holders located on both sides aft ofthe pulpit. Her stainless steel80lb.PLOWis mountedwith240'ofgalvanized chain all the way forward on thepulpit.TheMAXWELL(rebulit)windlass is 24v and has foot pedals mounted on thedeck.The hand brake is secure in a low profile box. There is a power switch located on thehelm in thesky lounge. Mounted on therailings forward of the house is acustomboarding ladder with 7 cork treads onsteps and an offset plate.There is also averticalboarding ladder.Customstainless steel railshave beenadded. The artisan welder did not stop there. All house side rails are also instainlesssteel.

Moving aft there are two6'long custom built fiberglass deckboxes with custom cushions and coversproviding excellent seating and storage.A great place to stretch out under thestars. The deck boxesare mounted outboard on eitherside of the15' ABinflatabletender. The center console tender is equipped with a60hpEvinrude.The tender was re-tubed and completely serviced in2021. For electronics, the tender has aGARMIN GPS WITH MULTIFUNCTIONSCREENand aVHF.A1500lb MARQUIPT DAVITis mountedon theport foredeck ofMrs Chips.

Proceeding aftalongthe side decks one finds2wingdoors.There are three doors leading onto the aft deck saloon,Allnew locks were installed and there is a spare lock set(aft)in the ships stores.

As you enter from the deck ofMRS CHIPSthrough either the port or starboard wing doors you will be amazed at the classic and elegant space that you have just entered. Unlike most ofMRS. CHIPS'sisterships, the aft deck saloon was ordered originally with very large sliding side windows and impressive aft windows.No matter where one decides to sit, you will have a great view of the world asMRS. CHIPSglides effortlessly by.

Running along the back and port side of this comfy space, there is a L shaped settee with volumes of storage beneath. To starboard are 2 stand alonechairs.Adjacent to the aft chair there is aGLENDINNINGremote control plug.

Everywhere that you look you will find highly varnished matched teak woodwork that has been accomplished overtime using the best crafts people and varnishers.Each piece of teak was pain snakingly selected.MRS. CHIPShas benefitted from having a dedicated varnisher who comes annually from the North East to ensure that all wood work is of furniture quality. When this owner purchasedMRS. CHIPSshe was a white plastic production yacht.No longer. She is now a very inviting, elegant, comfortable place to be whether sitting at the dock watching the sunset or heading off to new places to explore.Even the windows have beenframed out in glorious varnished teak as well.The front of the wet bar's110v ULINErefrigerator has also been teak clad. Above the wet bar is a42' Samsung 4K TV.Directly behind the TV is a large well lighted storage area with bar storage and for paper products etc. Of course one may choose to listen to theFUSIONsystem that has been paired withPIONEERspeakers While hanging out on this very comfortable deck.

Throughout the yacht you will see52light fixtures that have been converted toLED lighting.Each light fixture has a handmade teak donut surrounding it.The overhead of the entire yacht is absolutely pristine and hascustomone of akinddesigned grab railings installed as needed.

To starboard there is a door that leads out to the line handling deck.The safety of this area has been truly increased immeasurably by the seller by adding custom designedstainless steelrailings that run the entire coaming.While his stainless steel artisan was busy creating these lower railing, the seller also had the artisan welder create additional toe railings for the upper deck.Two custom stainless steel ladders that are built to the specifications of a very astute yachtsman, were also added at that time.This provides safety for either crew or the owner operatorwith easy safe access to the top of the aft deck and the top of the hard top. Seeing a definite lack of good docking cleats,the seller also had custom cleats added.to just outboard of the line handling deck.

Back on the aft deck saloon with its intricateORIENTAL RUGone may pass down the companionway forward and on the center line fitted with custom side handrails into the lower saloon. Or one may head up to theSKY BRIDGE COMMAND CENTER,the center of the action,theAFT DECK UPPER SALOONis the social center of the yacht.

As you come up the stairs from the aft deck saloon, you will find a most amazing climate controlledCOMMAND BRIDGEhelm and3customSTIDD HIGH LADDER BACKhelm seats The STIDD seats also recline. For the cost of these upgraded seats, they should come with a masseuse. To make it easy for all persons aboardto access the command bridge, custom stainless steel and teak hand rails were designed by the owner andhave been added to the companionway and to the sky lounge.There is comfortable seating in a L shape with storage below that runs along the aft bulkhead and the port side of the sky bridge.There is even a teak trimmed foldable foot rest that makes for just a bit more comfort when sitting on the aft settee. Large tintedopening windows are also located aft.The forward windshield has a UV film and the two smalt vent windows do open.Many electrical outletsthroughout the yacht as well as any additional newly added electrical outlets have been upgraded withUSBports. Overhead, there is an openingBOMARhatch.

Thedecking is synthetic teak and holly which is in like new condition.

The entire forward bridge is a custom teak dash and electronic overhead pods. The attention to detail, and the redundancyis once again over the top. Each of the light fixtures and electronic pods has been detailed with hand crafted highly varnished teak.This command bridge was very quiet whenMRS. CHIPSwas built as she was ordered with full glass windows, solid lower aft deck enclosure and hard top, but now even more so. The hard framed glass windshield has3independent freshwater washers and oversized wipers.As an owner operator or as a captain, you will appreciate the nearly 360 degrees of visibility.Of course theon boardcamera systemalso provides an added sense of security.
