As purchased with 50hp and 14" Suzuki prop it did 26 knots. Lifting the engine gave 29 knots, I never managed to exceed 30 knots until the new engine which I never tried unmodified. Now it has a 17" Suzuki propellor and does 34 knots (63 kmh), probably 35 is possible, I've not been out alone enough to try. 30 knots is easy loaded with four adults in adverse conditions. The 17" propellor returns 2.1Nm/L at 25 knots cruising speed, nice and relaxed, before the upgrade that speed was thrashing it with poor economy.

Hull design is always a compromise. Medium V rising to flat outer chines means there's a hard slam when it's really rough otherwise normally comfy in a chop and through wakes. Deeper V would need more power and not be as fast as this hull. I went around Selsey Bill in dreadful conditions that fetched the aux off (good job secured with safety chain) and I had to slow to about 14kn in the overfalls but the boat never felt unsafe. Nice feature is the self draining deck not that it's easy to stuff the bow anyway. Really rough stuff requires suspension or jockey seats not part of the Ranieri design. I've had the latter, prefer the Ranieri layout as it allows huge recreation deck up front.

Worth getting a tracker on it. I have a Rewire Security DB2 which is cheap to buy and run and gives an alert if the main battery's getting low. Useful feature for an auto bilge pump on the mooring. Also forgot to mention both seats are lockable, matching keys.
