Hi everyone,just bought this boat and I was wondering what kind of minor upgrades anybody might suggest to get a little more mph out of it? I am not looking to spend a bunch of $ and I already have a fast boat.I would like this one to run maybe 75-80 at the most.I am very happy with the boat and it is all stock and I do not want it to become something I have to work on all the time.I was hoping there might be a couple of KEY things to do from stock to make the most economical gains.Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks all

Bad Meds, how fast does it go now? Not knowing what a lot of $$ is to you, and if you went this route it would be cool to see speed increases step by step.
Exhaust and carb work-
Then ignition like full MSD-
Ditch the recirc waterpump for a cross over-
Tell your friends to get out-
The crossover would be the cheapest, and I would be curious to hear about a gain if any.
Looks good for a 12 year old boat.If you want it to go 75 or 80 this means you will be spending lots of cash.If you want 3-5 mph more start with good ignition then K&N filter and exhaust.Then test as many props as you can get your hands on.
I think the cheapest 3-5 mph can be had for $350
Take your prop to one of the performance prop shops and have it blueprinted/labbed. They will thin the blades, tweek the pitch and cup. I am assuming you already have a performance stainless prop.
