Wally debuts wallypower50X in US
SHARE
The outboard version of the wallypower50 features four Mercury engines that can power the 50-footer to 50-plus knots.
Wally staged the world premiere of the outboard-powered wallypower50X at this year’s Miami International Boat Show in February. The yacht’s standard propulsion package features four 425hp Mercury V10 Verado engines that deliver a top speed of 50 knots and a cruising speed of 34 knots, based on preliminary data.
The upgraded power pack features four 500hp Mercury Racing V8s, as fitted on the model’s second hull, which was on display at the Miami show. The Racing engines increase performance, with a predicted top speed of 54 knots and a cruising speed of 36 knots, also based on preliminary data.
Aside from outboard engines, which contribute to an overall length of 50ft 6in, the yacht is based on the wallypower50 inboard model that debuted at Boot Düsseldorf 2024.
The wallypower50 has an overall length of 47ft 11in, as it combines the naval architecture of the wallytender48 (2019) – Wally’s first model following its acquisition by Ferretti Group – with the superstructure style of the wallypower58 (2022).
The profiles of the wallypower50 and its X edition include a vertical bow, a fully concealed anchoring system, and a sharp, angular superstructure that’s enclosed on three sides.
Lounging areas includes two double island sunpads on the aft deck, with a central walkway offering easy boarding and disembarkation. Symmetrical fold-down sides increase the usable deck space by over 5sqm and create balconies over the sea, which is even more important on the outboard X version due to its row of outboards along the aft platform.
The cockpit area covered by the glazed superstructure includes a starboard sofa facing an L-shaped sofa and a table to port, which all combine to offer dining for up to eight.
Forward is a galley in the starboard corner, opposite a helm station with two of Wally’s distinctive, high-backed helm chairs, originally designed by Poltrona Frau for the wallywhy200 (89ft).
Below deck, the yacht features a small lounge area, a bathroom with separate shower to port, and an open double bed in the bow with overhead skylights. Novel features include the ‘magic portholes’, indoor screens that simulate outside views.
