Buy or hire the R55 if...
A flybridge motor yacht for coastal cruising rather than long offshore passages, with three cabins for up to six guests. Twin Volvo Penta IPS pod drives give a stated top speed of up to 30 knots on the standard engines, so it suits charter parties wanting space and speed over range.
