As an outboard-driven evolution of the established wallypower50 platform, the new model marks a technical shift while retaining the core visual language that defines the range.
A 50-Foot Icon Reworked for Outboard Power
The wallypower50X extends the Wally wallypower range into outboard propulsion without altering the fundamentals of its design identity. The vertical bow, sharp sheerline, and expansive glazed surfaces remain intact, preserving the crisp profile associated with the series.
Key exterior elements of the boat carry over. The signature “magic portholes” draw natural light into the lower deck while maintaining uninterrupted hull lines. The anchoring system remains fully concealed, keeping the foredeck clear and reinforcing the pared-back aesthetic when at anchor.
The superstructure features extensive glazing, creating a protected yet open environment for helm and guest areas. Deck ergonomics have been arranged to support both high-speed running and relaxed coastal cruising, with circulation routes and seating positioned for practical day use.
Wally positions the 50X as a flexible platform. It is intended to serve as a chase boat, superyacht tender, day cruiser, or weekender depending on owner preference. That adaptability is rooted in modular deck planning rather than cosmetic changes.
Fold-Down Sides and Open Social Space
The most visible enhancement on the Wally boat comes at the stern. Fold-down transom sides extend the beam at anchor, adding more than five square meters of usable deck space. This creates a broader social platform and a closer connection to the water, a feature increasingly expected in this size category.
On the main deck, two generous sunpads sit forward and aft of the central social zone. Beneath the glazed hardtop structure of the yacht, a dining table accommodates up to eight guests in shade and protection. The layout leans toward informal use, with a lounge area integrated alongside a compact kitchenette to support day cruising and extended afternoons onboard.
The arrangement prioritizes open sightlines and ease of movement rather than compartmentalization. It is a format well suited to short-range coastal runs or high-energy island hopping, particularly in markets such as Florida and the Caribbean.
Compact Accommodation
Below deck, the wallypower50X maintains the accommodation standards established by the inboard model. A forward double berth forms the primary sleeping area, supported by a lounge space and a bathroom with a separate shower.
The layout is straightforward and aimed at short stays rather than extended passages. Headroom, natural light, and finish quality remain central considerations, ensuring the 50X functions as a credible weekender rather than a pure dayboat.
Mercury Power and 50-Knot Performance
The defining technical change lies aft. The wallypower50X is equipped as standard with triple Mercury Verado V10 425 hp outboards. Preliminary data indicates a top speed of 50 knots and a cruising speed of 34 knots.
An alternative configuration is available with Mercury Racing V8 500 hp units. Hull number two, unveiled in Miami, adopts this higher-output setup, lifting top speed to a reported 54 knots and cruising speed to 36 knots. These figures remain preliminary but position the 50X firmly at the upper end of the performance spectrum for its class.

Reviewed: The Inboard wallypower50 in Context
The IPS-powered Wally wallypower50 has been YachtBuyer reviewed, achieving a 4 out of 5 YB stars. At 14.6 meters with a GRP planing hull, the inboard version reaches around 36 knots and offers a reported range of up to 280 nautical miles. The Volvo Penta IPS setup, paired with joystick control, delivers precise low-speed handling and confident mid-range cruising, reinforcing its credentials as a capable chase boat or high-end weekender.
Much of the core architecture carries over to the 50X. The drop-down terraces that extend the cockpit by 6 square meters, the single-cabin lower deck with “magic” portholes, and the sharply defined profile remain central to the concept. The difference lies in emphasis. Where the IPS model feels measured and controlled, favoring balance and usable range, the 50X shifts the spotlight to outright speed and visual drama at the stern, with outboard power pushing performance well beyond the inboard benchmark.
With the wallypower50X, Wally reinterprets its established 50-foot platform through a high-performance outboard setup aimed at speed-focused owners and tender operators. Unveiled in Miami, it retains the defining lines of the wallypower family while repositioning the model within the fast-growing outboard dayboat segment.
