Wiking 21

[Alexander78]

Hello to all, 

I'm sorry to write you in english, my norwegian isn't very good. I'm planning to look at / buy a Wiking 21:

(https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/wikingboat-21-baddy/1332784460-211-9047)

However, I've seen on several internet sites that the engine should not be more than 30 HP,  the one I'm planning to see is 45 HP. Is that OK or too heavy for this boat ? 

 

Greetings, 

Alexander 

 

Hei til alle,

Jeg beklager å skrive deg på engelsk, norskene mine er ikke så bra. Jeg planlegger å se på / kjøpe en Wiking 21:

(Https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/wikingboat-21-baddy/1332784460-211-9047)

Imidlertid har jeg sett på flere internettsider at motoren ikke skal være mer enn 30 hk, den jeg planlegger å se er 45 hk. Er det OK eller for tungt for denne båten?

 

Hilsener,

Alexander

Difficult to say.

We don't know the weight of the engine.

 

I'm guessing this is not the original engine.

Wild guess is that a modern engine is lighter than an old engine, hp/weight ratio.

If this is a new or at least newer than the one from the 70's, this would cause no problem.

On a snekke like this the speed probably don't increase much if you give her more horsepower.

Besides that, no problem.

Being interested in this boat means you are not a speedhunter. Easy on the throttle, and you don't need to worry about fuel cost.

 

What is the weight of the original engine, and what is the weight of the new engine?

Google will answer that...

 

Greetings

I had a Wikingboat21 once, with Yanmar 22.5 hp, 3 cyl. The boat didnt weigh much, so max speed was ca 10 knots.

Under water this is not an ordinary "snekke", it is a semi displasement.

I have tested the boat with Vetus 42 hp, no problem, but the little Wiking did not enjoy going faster than 12 knots...

Thank you very much for your comments. The owner told me that the engine is a "45 hp VW Golf Diesel Motor from 1979".

Indeed, I'm not looking for speed, only for easy boating with wife and kids. My opinion is, when this motor is on the boat since 30 years it should be OK...   What about the price : 4.500€ or 49.000 Kr. Does that seem reasonnable ? I'll take a look at it this weekend. It seems in good shape.

Golf diesel,  is it perhaps a self made marine engine ?

Check the engine for smoke, temperature, oil leak and sounds.

I think the price is a bit high.

Possible, though several companies have been offering fresh water cooling conversion kits for this 4 cylinder 1.5 l engine.

Parts for that engine can be picked from Golf/Passat/Audi 80 1975-1983 as long as it is IDI 1.5 l engine.

That engine is also delivered from VW Industrial Division.

@Alexander78Is it a shotgun pointing at us?

[Alexander78]

@Fuglen What do you mean by THAT ?!

 

[Fuglen]

Just wondering.

Aaah... OK, sorry, I didn't see that coming. No, it's just a picture from a summer fair shooting... when you shoot right, a picture is taken automatically. I'm quite the pacific person otherwise...

Ok.

 

But:

It is fine by me if you shoot some gulls.

I hate gulls. They scream, and behave like animals.

When they open their mouths and scream like sick souls, you can look all the way down into their bloody shameless intestines.

If a gull catch a fishhead or intestine or some other shit and flies away with this in his beak, the other gulls throw themselves over him and shall have shall have.

And the result is that gore falls into the sea and sinks, and non of them get any pleasure of the shit.

Gulls don't have citizenship, shall have shall have.

I'm glad I don't know a gull personally, then I had to have some sort of courtesy towards it.

I wouldn't have a gull if you gave me one.

If you want to give me a bird, and I could choose, i would have said: please give me a kingfisher. In a bottle.

OK
