Brad65,

The best thing you can do for more speed is run at a bigger lake! LOL!

Seriously though, until you can run it for a distance in a straight line I don't think you can see your true top speed. Once you get the boat running at top speed you may see that you have reached the top speed of the hull. I know when I head into the wind I am real close to blowing over at my top speed, so you will be right on the ragged edge because you should be running faster than I am. You possibly could add weight to the hull to help settle it down if needed. You will have to try a few things to see what works for you. I would be interested in what works for you. Have fun trying.
