If you can afford one of these https://www.galatiyachts.com/yachts/details/2768063/2019/viking/72-convertible/72/lq07/

you go right ahead and buy it. While you are at it, you can buy a smaller boat with more manoeuvrability for chasing the GT’s

good luck on whatever you decide.
 

a very nice vessel  

Or is it better to go for the smaller 54 convertible? What do you think?

yes, it could do it....personally I`d be using the Viking's dory for the trolling, otherwise you would be paying ridiculous $$$'s for your GT, whiting and flatty fillets.... 

ok thanks

personally I think it`s a bit 'going overboard' for chasing GT`s, but it would be very comfortable for drifting the flats bottom fishing for winter whiting  or trolling for flatties

Its main focus is for trolling. This is more of " can it do it? " more of thing.

@shakey55 so I’m guessing it’s an angler’s dream?

well @tiotonyI was thinking sovereign islands...  

Hey there im considering getting a Viking 78EB. How effective would it be for bottom fishing and going for GT? Also side question is there a bag limit on Marlins?

Not much, most fishing here. I travel to Japan and Malaysia for fishing. The largest fish I got was a 137 KG marlin back in 2015.  
 

edit.. sorry guys I lost the file but it’s still on the charter website. I was 13 at the time.

Hello I’m from Singapore. I’m here cause I’m heavily considering of moving via PR to Australia. The plan at least ( when the boarders reopen ) is to get a subclass 188 (SIV) and then get a home in the Gold Coast. Already have the Viking 78EB and a GradyWhite 300 marlin in mind. Can’t wait to come over.
