I think you can compare the Dolphin 74 with this boat. But I have no idea how it is selling, just that people seems to like it.

Like most boats however, they are very heavy compared to ours, probably almost twice the weight and consuming at least 50 percent more fuel. This year is the first where we have noticed that people are very concerned about fuel efficiency. It is probably due to a combination of the climate hype and the rocketing fuel prices.

Luckily we have foreseen this and are building very light and hightech boats with outstanding speed and mileage. But to handle a fast and light boat you need a little more experience than with a heavy built boat. You can not just put on the autopilot and relax in speeds around 40 knots...
