The 42' model provides a showcase for several Viking innovations. The windshield is now made from molded fiberglass, eliminating the braces needed for metal frames. This was also the first POD model produced by Viking. Built with a deeper V than on the typical Viking (16.7 degrees of deadrise at the transom compared with 10 or 11 degrees) to compensate for the shorter running length and lighter weight. The additional draft from the V is offset by the shallow running gear of the pod-drives, nestled in protective pockets; the 42 Open floats in 3 feet, 5 inches of water.
