Went on a Pascoe Sr9 with a single yanmar 315, that must of been close to 60knots. I can't remember how quick exactly, but over 60mph.

If they have a Yamaha 315 TRP which delivers full power to the water.

For example their 29...


fitted with a Yanmar 6LPA-STP equipped with 'thrust booster' states 54kts

fitted with their Yanmar D-MAX equipped with 'thrust booster' states 60kts


The D-MAX is a version of the 6LPA producing 370hp

Do that and use a open bow and jockeyseats.... I saw your Bananashark, the video from red sea rally 2006. It was maybe little or much to light for that sea condition, but you made a good job, im impressed. Are you planning to compete red sea rally this year to? Who is the designer of the Banana Shark Hull?

About the first question.

1. What do you have, boat and engine that did 60 knots or close to?
2. What do you need to come to 60knots, in your rib?

6,5-8,0m rib...

I saw in Ribmagazine that a Goldfish make 59knots with 315 yanmar and bravo one.
