Brokers Comments
From all indications TRUE LOVE has been well taken care of over the years. Her interior and exterior are clean and neat. The dcor is tastefully done and non intrusive. With the 1000 HP MANs her cruise speed is acceptable by todays standards. This 53 Viking is the nicest Ive seen in quite a while.
