A 2006 Viking 74-footer on the market through the YATCO MLS.
"Curious George" is a 2006 Viking 74' sportfish offered for sale at $1,799,000, lying Fort Lauderdale, Florida. South Florida is the world capital of sportfishing boats - the deepest inventory, the best rigging yards, and the fastest-moving market for well-kept hulls.
Power is twin MTU 16V2000 M91, 2,050 hp each, showing 3,000 hours. She cruises around 30 knots and tops out near 34 knots, carrying 3,000 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 4 staterooms for 8 guests.
Highlights
What sets this hull apart on today's market.
Greg Gaus runs and sells performance boats out of Fort Lauderdale. His central listing in the category is the Viking 45 Open "The Wroe Boat", and in 2026 he sold both a Formula 430 SSC and the Midnight Express 43 "Stop the Press". He spent 20+ years as a professional captain. That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.

What does it cost to run a 74-foot sportfish?
As of 2026, industry estimates for a crewed 74-footer typically run mid to high six figures per year, with a crew of roughly four to six, covering crew, fuel, insurance, dockage, and maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this yacht before you offer.
Where can I see "Curious George"?
She is lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and shows by appointment through your broker. Contact Double G Yacht Sales to arrange a private showing.
How does the purchase process work?
Accepted offer, then a survey and sea trial contingency of typically 7 to 14 days. Greg - a licensed captain with 20+ years at sea - attends the survey and sea trial personally and manages everything through closing.
How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.
How fast is she, and what is the range?
Cruise around 30 knots, top speed about 34 knots and 3,000 gallons of fuel with twin MTU 16V2000 M91, 2,050 hp each - comfortable Florida-Bahamas legs and seasonal Caribbean runs.

Price the refit into the offer, not after it.
At 20 years, what a boat needs next matters as much as what she asks. Greg Gaus spent more than twenty years as a working captain and has managed refits on Westport 40Ms and 112s and a Viking 92. Before you offer on Curious George he can scope the work, get Fort Lauderdale yard numbers and build them into the price.
