It also takes more guests, 12 against 10 on the Wally 43 X. The Axopar 37 Sun Top is the quicker boat, 48 knots to 45. Both run outboard.
Net of the spec sheet it is a trade: the Wally 43 X is the bigger platform, the Axopar 37 Sun Top the quicker one. Garage envelope and the missions the boat has to cover should settle it.
