It really depends on condition and how much immediate work needs to be done on it. It most importantly depends on how much you want it.
While diesels are more desirable in a 43 foot boat I actually would prefer the gas power in a 43 Viking. The diesel options were either Detroit 671n's or Cat 3208's. It isn't a fast boat with either of those options and the cost of rebuilding or fixing diesels is $$$$$$. It's a lot cheaper to fix gas engines.

It depends on the helmsman. I've seen one guy handle an 80 footer with no problem.
