Size is the first divide here: 16.80 m LOA on the Alen 55 against 13.10 m on the Wajer 44.
Both are rated for 16 guests. The Wajer 44 is the quicker boat, 38 knots to 35. Range favours the Wajer 44, 300 nm against 280 nm. Both run ips.
Net of the spec sheet it is a trade: the Alen 55 is the bigger platform, the Wajer 44 the quicker one. Garage envelope and the missions the boat has to cover should settle it.
The full spec table is below; the gold dot marks the leading value in each row.
