Alpha Z started off as a small runabout project and morphed into a hi-performance work of art, gradually becoming a flagship project for MPYD and Van Dam Custom Boats. Designed without practical limitations and made real in wood as only Van Dam can, Alpha Z was launched in 1998 and has graced wooden boat meccas like Tahoe & Monaco since.

She is the epitome of custom; from the hull planked in Steinway mahogany to the machined aluminum rudder, the frameless windshield, heat-molded Dooney & Bourke leather seats, down to the disappearing deck hardware. Literally everything you see was made specially for this boat.

Not just a pretty face, Alpha Z tops out around 95 mph with a custom Keith-Eickert V8 powerplant turning an Italian BPM surface drive coupled to an Arneson chainbox. Nothing but the best the 1990’s had to offer.

A year after unveiling the V-series in 2019, MPYD and Valhalla Boatworks set out to design and build a new larger model – the Valhalla V-46. As the first hulls were being built, Mercury Marine approached the design team with a groundbreaking new outboard engine design – the 600hp V12 Verado. The V-46 powered by four new Varados was a perfect match for the MPYD patented SVVT hull – demonstrating excellent performance as a featured boat at Mercury’s unveiling press event at Lake X.
