A February world debut, not an autumn premiere
Wally launched the 50X publicly at the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show on 11 February 2026. The 'X' designation identifies the outboard interpretation of the existing wallypower50 design, and no new autumn premiere is implied by this report.
Its vertical bow, glazed superstructure and concealed anchoring equipment preserve the wallypower family look, but an open aft cockpit distinguishes the X configuration. The arrangement can serve as a weekender or a fast day cruiser, rather than only a support craft for a larger yacht.
What the four outboards change
The builder's published technical sheet lists four Mercury Verado V10 425 engines as standard, with Mercury Racing V8 500R units optional. Quoted maximum speeds are 48 and 54 knots respectively, depending on package, while cruising-speed figures are 34 and 36 knots.
Performance and range are manufacturer estimates and must be checked against load, sea state and the exact boat. Outboard access also changes how an owner thinks about service, swim-platform routes and the position of machinery at the transom.
The current model page also lists a beam of 4.5 metres and draft of 1.2 metres. Those dimensions can shape the day-to-day use of a boat that is both fast and intended to approach shallow coastal facilities.
The deck plan at rest
Fold-down aft sides increase usable deck area by more than five square metres, according to the yard. Two sunpads and a sheltered dining area for eight turn a narrow running profile into a wider social footprint at anchor.
Below, Wally provides a cabin for two and a shower room, allowing an owner to extend beyond the day-boat schedule. The arrangement remains intimate compared with larger three-cabin cruisers, so guests and overnight use should be considered separately.
Size and operating choices
At 15.4 metres overall with a 4.5-metre beam, the 50X belongs squarely inside LYG's size limits. Wally states 2,800 litres of fuel, 240 litres of water and capacity for twelve people, although operational capacity must follow the certified documentation.
The model can be assessed for its open-deck versatility as much as its peak speed, including the route between outboards and water access when stopped. The photograph here is an official wallypower50X model image and has not been used as another article's hero.
Wally’s current technical sheet publishes cruising-speed range estimates of 320 nautical miles for the standard package and 280 nautical miles for the optional engines. Different speed assumptions elsewhere in marketing material should not be mixed into one unsupported passage estimate.
