New Viking 92 aims for quiet performance
This year, Viking Yachts introduces the world’s largest convertible sportfishing yacht with a totally resin-infused hull. To optimize performance and engine efficiency aboard the new Viking 92, the boatbuilder worked with Marine Exhaust Systems.
To keep the roar of the twin MTU Series 2000 V16 M96L 2,635 hp Tier 3 engines at bay, the Viking 92 employs Marine Exhaust Systems’ TL Linear Series mufflers. Super quiet, they enable normal tone conversation to be easily heard over the exhaust sound.
A muffler in a tube, the revolutionary design of Marine Exhaust Systems’ patented Linear Series muffler technology has proven to be one of the most significant innovations in marine diesel engine exhaust technology. Adaptable to the ever-increasing size and horsepower of today’s modern sportfishing boats, these mufflers also require far less space, creating room for larger fuel tanks or equipment.
The Linear Series is best suited for an inline application, preferably close to the engine with enough room for a surge tube in front. Constructed of biaxial E-glass/vinylester and fire-retardant resin, the muffler’s hose connections are all fitted with 316L stainless steel crush resistant rings.
Viking yachts are defined by their state-of-the-art performance, without any sacrifice to exquisite appointments and exceptional onboard livability. “The Marine Exhaust linear muffler is efficient not only in the usage of space, but also efficient in how it addresses engine exhaust noise,” said Peter Frederiksen, Viking Yachts marketing director.
The Viking 92 is available in open and closed bridge configurations. This new boat has a stunning profile in either version with several motor yacht cues, including dual mezzanine decks. The yacht’s interior is a showpiece of elegance and luxury. The 92 Convertible has six staterooms, each with its own private head and shower.
