There is doing it right and doing it wrong. Don't need to "fixem" for a living to know that. I will tell you how this one goes when I am done with it. My new 125 that won't need gimmicks to run.
Youre speed is normal for that motor and set up. Your motor is powerhead rated , realistically 60 at the prop. I ran that same combo and I would recommend a 15" prop to get closer to 5500. 32 was the best I ever got out of it. If you want significant speed increase get an 86 or newer 70 hp.
I know all about what you did to that fine engine. You literally made it so much worse. Honestly I think you are a cautionary tale on what not to do to an engine. By the way I misspelt Good with GOID not GOLD
