[QUOTE="jetswu87, post: 356885, member: 14547"] I have looked into the 15hp carb and everything I've seen has show that's the only difference. The carb is $200. I'm sure this alone the motor would pickup some RPM. I'm wondering how much the motor being pretty low under the boat is hurting me, I looked again this morning and I may be able to rig a piece of wood as a spacer and still bolt the motor through the meat of the transom for some testing. If the motor picks up rpm from less load then it'll go faster! I did some reading on hydrafoils last night and I think if I'm able to get the motor up and hydrafoil it to get it on plane I'll pickup some speed. Most of the weight in this boat is all in the rear, and the gas tank is built-in unit...the battery cables would be a bear to re-run. I'm not unhappy with the performance of the boat, but if I could get this thing going 12-13mph on plane I'd be giddy. I think I'm going to change one thing at a time and see results from there. Any more ideas are greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
