Wally has long been a leader in making aspirational powerboats, and deservedly W so. But if you’re torn between the open-style thrills of the WallyTender line and the luxury of the WallyPower line, the WallyPower50 might be the most attractive model yet.
It certainly possesses the angular lines, fine stem and aggressive double-chine profile you would expect of a classic WallyPower model but you can also spec it with the same workmanlike wraparound fender as a WallyTender.
Like the WallyTender 48 and the WallyPower 58, the new 50 is available with either inboard or outboard propulsion. The standard model is fitted with twin Volvo Penta IPS-650 pod drives and user-friendly joystick control for berthing manoeuvres. In this guise the top speed should be around 36 knots with a fast cruise of 30-knots.
The “X” variant offers a wider choice of outboard engines, including some really seductive options. You can opt for quadruple Mercury 400s for 48-knot performance or upgrade to quadruple Racing 500s for speeds of more than 50 knots.
In terms of the deck layout, the superstructure is positioned a decent way forward, and while that slightly shortens the elegantly tapered bow, it helps genera
