I don't understand the point at all. At least in my area, most boats of this size are used for fishing, wake sports, or as a sailboat tender.

Larger boats with a cabin and accommodations are common as party boats but this seems a bit too small.

There are plenty of markets & brands around the world that see lots of 8 meter sized day cruiser boats.

Remember that boating is very locally adapted, with many boat models from Sweden never being exported to other regions, due to regional preferences and sea conditions.

Have you considered the bass-fishing market? Your boats are a little expensive but not terribly so. Speed might be a bigger problem.
