she cruises nicely at 38 knots but WOT is 48 knots with 2 persons on board and 12 gallons of fuel. I'll check what prop I got on the engine.

Love this thread and want to contribute but I have never been concerned with the actual speed number. I just love the feeling of speed, but in the interests of research I will be quantifying the fleet.
Over the next few weeks plan on taking all the family's RIB's and SIB out for a run with the iPhone gps app. Of course that depends on weather and other commitments.
Anybody wants to take a guess beforehand, you are most welcome.
Zodiac AR340 with a beat up 2001 Yamaha 20hp 2 stroke. Prop came with outboard and i think is 9 7/8 x 11 1/8.
Dockitjet 5.6m with 1996 200hp Suzuki in excellent condition. Has a 3 blade 25 inch prop at the moment. Only ever been run once and bad chime walk at 3000rpm but will raise the motor, put a 4 blader on and some weight in the front to see what will happen.
Ribtec 890SX with twin Yamaha diesel sterndrives 240hp ME421 sti's. Currently had standard Yamaha 21 inch props.
3.2 m no name air floor, inflatable keel Chinese SIB with Mariner 1989 15hp. Not sure of the prop, the only thing i can see on it is A122105P.
Redback Stinger 2.9m rib with Mariner 9.9, about 1990. No idea of the prop.
Zodiac 470 with (2000?) Mercury 50hp. Has a stainless 18 pitch prop.

With one person and 100 liters of fuel 103 km/hr = 55,6 kts.
Scorpion 7.5, with Evinrude 250 DI, Tempest Plus 23" Labfinished and Atlas Hydraulic Jack Plate, 4" Setback.

Just what I thought. 
1 boat - okay, but that's it
2 boats - where am I supposed to park the bl**dy car?
3 boats - your dinner's in the dog (again)
4 boats - someone from the council called to see if you were trading?
5 boats - someone from the Royal Navy called...
6 boats - see you in court!

I'd be very interested to know the exact spec - my SR4 only managed 37 knots with a Yamaha 50.
If there's a 50 that will give me 48 knots I want one for the current 4M

We ve had 48kts out of my ribtec 6.5 with a 175 opti.
That was a gps 48kts on a perfect flat calm day. 3 on board and 2 lots of diving kit. One of those pieces of kit was a Sentinel rebreather which weighs about the same as the trailer!!

I reckon 48 is feasible with a 50hp on a 4m, we've had similar speeds with our Valiant 4.5, 50hp 4 stroke with flat conditions running north of Port Solent 
Seriously though, not had the RIBTEC/115 Merc out on a flat day but the GPS shows a top speed of 36.5 knots, my quickest is 34 so far.

You might have to "Supersize" that 50hp...
