The wallypower50 is a model intended to serve as a bridge between the builder’s wallytender range (which tops out at a wallytender48) and the wallypower58, which was previously the next-size model in the Wally powerboat lineup.
The idea with the wallypower 50 is that potential owners will be able to use it as everything from a chase boat to a tender, day cruiser or luxury weekender.
Design-wise, the wallypower50 has the more open styling of the wallytender line, but it is built with the sportiness of the wallypower58. Options allow each owner to customize the look even more, say with a wraparound fender that has more of a workhorse vibe. Wally’s Magic Portholes can also be integrated belowdecks, further changing the exterior aesthetic along with the onboard experience.
Out on deck, there are two sun pads aft instead of one (as is the case on the wallytenders). Drop-down bulwarks extend the dance space by more than 50 square feet for water sports and chilling out with a water-level view aft.
Forward of there is the cockpit for alfresco relaxation, followed by the cockpit salon with dining and seating for eight people, meaning there is room to welcome guests for cocktails or dinnertime soirees on the hook.
Far forward, there’s another sun pad on the foredeck with adjustable headrests, giving owners and guests a way to have some privacy. The anchoring system at the foredeck is hidden, keeping the space free of clutter for a more guest-oriented ambience.
At the helm, skippers can see operating systems and data on two multifunction displays, streamlining the look of the dash.
Belowdecks, there’s a double berth in the bow along with a head and shower, a smaller salon and a galley. Wally’s idea is to provide a space that will suit owners for overnights or weekend getaways.
Power is a pair of Volvo Penta IPS650s that Wally says provide a 30-knot cruise speed and a 36-knot top hop. That system comes with joystick control and optional DPS for close-quarters handling. The Volvo Penta Assisted Docking system is also an option for skippers who want computerized assistance adjusting for wind, waves and currents at the marina.
Key specs for the wallypower50: Length overall is 47 feet, 11 inches; beam is 14 feet, 1 inch; draft is 4 feet, 3 inches; fuel is 370 gallons; water is 63 gallons; range at cruising speed is reportedly 280 nautical miles.
