[QUOTE="sixgun86, post: 264780, member: 5345"] It's going to be pretty slow going with a 5hp. I had a briggs motor on a gheenoe and it wasn't all that fast at all. Adding a little weight to the front of the boat and playing around with your tilt settings is really all you can do.. My advice would be not to spend any more money on the B&S and look at 9.9/10hp or even a 15hp if you are looking for speed but even then you would be exceeding the hp rating for your transom.
