If not our smaller Humber 5.2 Ocean Pro with 150HP extra longshaft.
Or our most recent 4 Meter Humber , good value and construction.
Fitted as beach rescue with 20 HP 4 stroke Yamaha ( Only engine
of our choice ) Perhaps a larger engine for club Rescue .
In smaller Ribs we would always go and have gone Humber.
Buy direct for best price.

Pablo, i've used a SR4 in precisely that circumstance, and actually its not a problem. A lot of safety boat work isn't on the plane anyway. With the hull flooded its much more pleasant when sitting bobbing around. Seem quite popular at sailing clubs.

OK. I figured it would just be heavy and consume loads with the hull flooded.
