1974 Viking 40' Sportfish Yacht "Inspiration" – Statutory Lien Sale
HIN: VYK404570874 | USCG Official #: 621492
This is a statutory lien foreclosure sale conducted under RCW 88.26.020. The vessel was secured due to unpaid moorage, storage, electricity, late fees, and related charges. All required notices have been properly delivered or attempted to the owner of record as shown on the USCG Abstract of Title.
Condition Report: Vessel condition is largely unknown to the seller. This vessel was previously listed for sale with a brokerage in July 2024. Due to non-payment of charges, it is now an abandoned vessel and should be considered a project vessel. It has been stored on land, out of the water since August 2024.
The vessel arrived under its own power. None of its engines or systems have been operated by seller since that time. The most recent owner of record had owned it for approximately 24 years and reported (to the best of their knowledge) that the boat had never run aground, never had a fire, never been sunk or submerged, and never been in a charter program. Fuel was last added in Friday Harbor, WA in fall 2023.
Engines & Mechanical (Reported by Previous Owner): Appears to be Twin Caterpillar Diesel Engines (possibly model 3208) with unknown hours. Previous owner did not provide specific hour readings.
Important Note: The engines and all mechanical systems have not been started, operated, or tested by seller and have not been operated since the vessel arrived in August of 2024. All engine information is second-hand and unverified. Mechanical condition is unknown to the seller.
Important Disclaimer: With the exception of the on-water photograph (taken at an unknown location and date, provided for reference only), all photographs of the vessel, engines, interior, decks, equipment, and overall condition were taken on or around August 8, 2024. These photographs are not current. The equipment, personal items, accessories, and overall condition visible in the photos may have changed, been removed, or deteriorated since August 2024.
