Hey guys, I have a 2002 40hp 2 stroke mercury on a 165 stick steer made by fisher. Looks like a tracker. Its a pretty heavy boat and has wood decking in it. But I am only getting 24-26mph out of it. Where I have been fishing the most is a 12 mile boat ride. I am needing to cut that ride time down alot to increase my fishing time. Any mechanics out here know if this is an appropriate speed for my 40hp or are there things I can modify or alter to be sitting around 40mph?
