Where to buy Valhalla Boatworks V-46:

Valhalla Boatworks

Viking created a subsidiary company to sell a new breed of center console boats, including the Valhalla Boatworks V-46. VB has seven models, from the V-28 to the V-55. The company aims to do to the center console world what Viking has done to the sportfishing world. In other words, innovating and producing an outstanding product focused on tournament-level fishing.

The V-46 has a Michael Peters Yacht Design (MPYD) double-stepped hull and many classy little touches like the S-shaped shear and the slight tumblehome transom bustle. The recessed grab rails, teak toe rail, and incredibly high-quality upholstery work set this boat apart.

Inside the cabin, you’ll find standing headroom up to six feet, 7 inches. There’s a small but functional galley, a head, and a U-shaped dinette that turns into a double bunk with filler cushions.
