The Goldfish 49 Open is the faster boat by a clear margin, 100 knots to the Alen 55's 35.
On size, the Alen 55 is the longer boat at 16.80 m LOA to 14.80 m. It also takes more guests, 16 against 12 on the Goldfish 49 Open. Drivetrains differ: the Alen 55 runs ips, the Goldfish 49 Open shaft.
Net of the spec sheet it is a trade: the Alen 55 is the bigger, higher-capacity platform, the Goldfish 49 Open the quicker one. Garage envelope and the missions the boat has to cover should settle it.
