2021 Outback 50 — Efficient. Spacious. Effortless.

The Outback 50 delivers a rare blend of efficiency, simplicity, and massive outdoor living space—all on Michael Peters’ proven hull design. Powered by economical Volvo D4 270s, she offers exceptional real‑world range at every speed, plus the reliability of straight‑shaft drives and the confidence of bow and stern thrusters for easy handling.

Performance:

• 15.5 knots • 20 gph • 390 miles
• 10 knots • 650 miles
• 8.2 knots • 4.1 gph • 1,000 miles

3'2" draft opens up the Bahamas, ICW, Great Loop, and shallow anchorages most 50‑footers can’t reach.

Signature Outback Space:  Infinity Deck, huge aft deck, walk‑around decks, and a custom hardtop create unmatched outdoor living. Perfect for toys, swimming, lounging, and easy water access.

Lifestyle:  A true couples boat that can also host twenty without feeling crowded. Romantic for two, a floating beach house for the whole family.
