The Whaly 455R is a 14-foot 9-inch runabout built from double-walled, rotationally molded polyethylene. The hull is colorfast and UV stabilized, designed to resist puncture and requires minimal maintenance. A console layout provides seating for up to four, with additional storage integrated throughout. The boat is self-bailing and can accommodate up to seven people or 930 pounds of cargo total.
The defining feature is an opening bow platform, useful for diving access, boarding from shallow water, or loading gear. The 455R model includes an inner foam layer not found on the standard 455, adding structural reinforcement for durability under regular use. The boat is ready to accept an outboard engine up to 60 horsepower and comes unfitted, allowing customization to suit professional or recreational needs. Its polyethylene construction is fully recyclable.
This 2024 model is unused and has appeared only at boat shows. The design suits work, rescue, fishing, and diving operations equally well as general recreation.
