These are the statistics belonging to the Wally 85M. This design has now pushed Wally into the really large boat market. With the Wally 148, 130, 101, 103 under construction it will be a little while before this design jumps off the drawing page.

The 85M, is an evolution of the 118 power design and rightly contains subtle genes from other Wally models. Wally is proving that they will stick to their roots in design even if they are venturing into larger builds.

Wally in their true minimalist styling have created an interesting design to say the least that will be a one-off if the design is put into production. From the abundance to minimalist loungers, chairs, sunpads to the twin squared jacuzzis on the sundeck, the experience will be great.

While I like the Wally design, I think they need to do doa better job differentiating the boats to give them that "unique" feel amongst themselves.
