General Description: This 1976 40' Viking 40 Convertible damaged during Hurricane Sandy while stored on land. Vessel has been out of the water for a few years. There is a plywood patch on the port quarter below the chine, which has been allegedly reported to be related to a jack stand penetrating the hull and a  partial flooding of the engine room ensued.

No damage to starboard prop, shaft or rudder, vessel did not float off stands. No damage to port running gear visible at time of inspection. Several antennas were broken. Compass has evidence of condensation. Not all equipment could be tested as no power to vessel at time of inspection. Other:  AC: Cruisair, appears to be in fair condition. No obvious waterline could be found on air conditioning units but they are heavily rusted. This rust appears to be from normal lack of maintenance, unable to test.
