We asked for twin 350s but finished with 300s. That pushes the 10 metre Naiad rescue boat along at 47 knots but found out that when they commissioned it they got it up to 55knots. Also discovered what was done to slow it down!!!!
There is a chip available to take them up to 400hp but who is going to need the extra power.
When deciding on a Naiad we went for a drive in Kirby's 10 metre sports version, 55 knots was a breeze, he said it topped out around 70
getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.
