I don't know about efficiency (depends on power), but my 89' with the built in swim platform is supposed to weigh less than 10k lbs. dry but I don't know about that either. I do think it is an excellent combo of speed, handling, and decent rough water boat. My 89' is padded and notched. Needs big power to get over 80. Like 800hp per side. I absolutely love my old Fountain!
