I have a 1983 50hp mercury. I just wondered If there is anything I can do to gain some speed. It has new plugs, fuel lines, fuel filter is clean, gear lube. It starts fine and runs fine WOT. Sometimes you can hear it rev up or down but for the most part it runs great. Compressions good on all 4 cyl. Its a 16ft fiberglass boat with a 14pitch SS prop. It will run about 25 with 2 guys. It just seems like everyone on the lake blows by me. Is there something else I could check or do to improve the HP or get some more speed! THanks alot
