Valhalla 46
In this V Report, come to the Florida Keys with us aboard the V-46 Trust Fun, the first Valhalla 46 with the combination of a custom Palm Beach Tower (PBT) gap tower and a trio of Mercury’s 600-hp Verado outboards.
This PBT masterpiece features a polished anodized aluminum 4-foot gap tower with a molded one-piece standing platform; a 38-inch control box with Mercury controls and steering and flush-mounted compass; a recessed area for electric teaser reels and an electronics wedge (both in the underside of the sunshade); a satellite dome on top of the sunshade and a custom resin-infused hardtop with radar pod. The tower itself holds multiple welded rod holders along its legs as well as four rod holders welded to the aft rail. Other notable accessories include 30-foot Rupp outriggers and a variety of custom lighting installations. The sunshade frame is satin black, and the hardtop, standing platform and sunshade undersides are all painted Whisper Grey to match the boot stripe and accents of grey throughout the boat.
The Mercury 7.6-liter V12 600-hp Verados provide incredible torque and power and have been a popular choice for Valhalla 46 owners in both triple and quad configurations. The Valhalla 46 – as well as our V-55 – were designed and engineered for these innovative ground-breaking engines which feature steerable gearcases with contra-rotating dual propellers; a two-speed automatic transmission; enhanced digital controls and joystick; and easier maintenance with an innovative top cowl service hood. The V-46 is also available with quad configurations of the Mercury 450Rs or Mercury Verado 400s.
When you’re on a Valhalla, it’s hard not to have a great time, enjoying the boating and fishing lifestyle wherever your home waters happen to be. This couple is all smiles on a sun-drenched 80-degree day off of Key Largo, sitting comfortably in the Vahalla’s aft mezzanine, which holds twin refrigerated drink boxes below. The Release Marine rocket launcher includes six rod holders and two cup holders; it’s mounted to a reinforcing deck plate in the cockpit.
This image shows the incredible amount of space the V-46 offers at the bow, with its forward lounge and dual bench seating with forward-facing Release Marine teak backrests. The centerline teak-clad step-up platform provides easy access to the anchor locker. Like most Valhallas, this one is dressed with a faux teak toe rail. Wish you were here, right?
We leave you with this gorgeous shot of Trust Fun, which showcases not only her fierce-looking gap tower but also her gently sloping S-shaped sheer, Snow White gelcoat, tumblehome transom bustle and two rows of Release Marine seating under the hardtop.
