Range is where they part: the Goldfish Goldfish covers 500 nm to the Alen 55's 280.
On size, the Alen 55 is the longer boat at 16.80 m LOA to 14.90 m. It also takes more guests, 16 against 10 on the Goldfish Goldfish. The Goldfish Goldfish is the quicker boat, 60 knots to 35. Drivetrains differ: the Alen 55 runs ips, the Goldfish Goldfish surface-drive.
Net of the spec sheet it is a trade: the Alen 55 is the bigger, higher-capacity platform, the Goldfish Goldfish the quicker one. Garage envelope and the missions the boat has to cover should settle it.
