Power options for 6.2m Brig falcon

Hi all, im in the process of ordering a Brig 620 falcon here in Ausralia, im trying to ascertain if a 115hp 4 stroke will be adequate power, the Brig hull only is around 500kg(1100lb), im guessing at the most my biggest load would be 6 divers with gear, bar crossings would be the most often type of access to the sea. Any thoughts from you all out with RIB experience would be appreciated.

thanks

Brissy

it was a looong time ago but think i was on a 6.2 Brig with 140 Suzuki. Seemed to go pretty well but it was rough as old boots so wasnt the best test.

If you are having 6 divers and kit i would think you need as much power as the boat can handle to give you most comfortable transit over a bar and out to sea.
