6.1 Tohatsu, 150 opti, 1/3 tanks, 1 person, 52 mph in the derestricted part of the Thames!! The tide was with me so take off 3 or so mph. On total flat calm with a clean bottom the previous owner claimed 54 mph which I recon is more than possible.

Yeah, compared to other ribs this seems too fast & I cant figure out why other than the speedo being out.The Gemini weighs 220kg, motor 140kg & virtually no tube in the water trimmed up at the nose. I will have to get a GPS & see what it reads.

yes sometimes things need a little adjustment to get it into focus, my friend as I posted on page 3 has the same boat as me but a yam 130hp, instead of a 200 hp, he is running a 21p 3 blade prop with around 40ltr fuel and 2 up, on a slack tide he runs 60mph gps trimmed right out engine standard height, thats 100%, so I can only assume the s/s prop has cupping may be making a 22 and the tacho under reads maybe by a 200+ rpm taking slip closer to 10% err maybe!!!

Andy, My 6.1 tohatsu with a 150 opti does about 53 mph, with 1/2 tanks plus aux engine, big A frame and general bits and bobs on board.

Your 120 wont be far behind.
