Like the current V Series center consoles, the V-29 will also utilize the patented Stepped-V Ventilated Tunnel running surface from Michael Peters Yacht Design that reduces drag while increasing speed, stability and efficiency.
Big boat features are apparent with available Seakeeper 1, bow thruster, thru-stem claw anchor with windlass, Release helm chairs and an electric head with overboard discharge. These combine with bay boat features such as trolling motors, power poles and jack plates. The V-29 also features a 180-gallon fuel capacity, so range is maximized with very economical fuel consumption with either twin Mercury V6 225 4 strokes, twin Mercury V8 300 Verados or twin Yamaha V6 300s.
The V-29 will excel on the tournament circuit or as a luxury tender to motor yachts, sportfish boats or even larger Valhallas due to its fish-focused layout that does not sacrifice seating and comfort. The aft flip-up bench seat, numerous helm seat options, console lounge and available forward bench seats tout her ability to be a yacht tender. Premium upholstery, available Bentley stitching and teak backrests add to the yacht finish of the V-29.
The V-29 features dual 25-gallon live wells on the aft casting deck. The V-29 also includes two insulated in-deck fish boxes in the cockpit that plumb to a Whale Gulper diaphragm pump, two midship lockable storage boxes that will fit 10 rods (five in each hatch) up to 7’. A large in-deck hatch at the bow adds to the extensive storage.
Valhalla DNA can be found on the contemporary helm with a fiberglass, teak or faux teak helm pod. Electronics options include dual 16” MFDs from Garmin or Simrad, or a single 22” Garmin or 19” Simrad. Additionally, dual 19” Garmins are available. The helm also features backlit-labeled Bocatech switches, an overhead electronics pod to house a Fusion stereo, VHF radio and other accessories. Additionally, the V-29 is designed and engineered around the weight of the Seakeeper 1 while maintaining storage and deck space.
Like the larger Valhalla models, the optional V-29 hardtop comes with a six-rod rocket launcher, molded-in electronics pod and ample lighting (such as bow and cockpit facing Lumitec spreader lights and overhead lights) and molded-in speakers. Light bars, FLIR infrared camera and radar will also be available for those looking to enhance fishing capabilities and safety. Telescoping or fixed outrigger poles from Gemlux are also available. A second station stand-on console option is available for those looking for a bird’s-eye view.
Serviceability is a key design objective for Valhalla, which is why we maximized bilge access via a flip-up bench seat on the forward section of the aft casting deck. Clear access to mechanicals such as the Hooker sea chest live well system, seacocks and bilge pumps make maintenance a dream.
Viking and Valhalla expertise, quality and craftsmanship will deliver another industry-leading center console.
