[QUOTE="Buddychrist, post: 275129, member: 9403"] Both man both! Lighter means faster and is free Bigger engine means faster but there's a balance you've gotta find. You can go too big with an engine and end up with a high hp motor that weighs a ton or you can go too small and not get enough hp. The merc 25hp is the balance of go juice and weight for me. Why don't you play around with your high speed jet on your carb, and give the o'l boat a diet. It's free and you might pull 2-3mph quicker. The higher up your motor is the faster she will go. Too high your bucking like a bronco and too low you're going slow. Lift it up until it porpoises and then go down one pin. Anything after that can be adjusted by weight. [/QUOTE]
