How to make boat faster?

[Majestic]

My boat seems beyond slow, it's kind of expected because the motor is a 30HP Honda 4 stroke and the boat is a 16 and a half foot Lund Rebel SS. It seems like it should be faster then what it is though.

I'm guessing I only can go about 10-12 MPH when I'm WOT. It doesn't seem like my boat and motor are in unison. I play around with the tilt but it doesn't seem to change much.

I researched this one late night awhile back and found a thread where some guy had a 4 stroke that was really slow on his boat and he added something to his boat and said it was like adding an extra 10HP, it was much faster.

Problem is I can't find that thread or remember what they were talking about lol.

Any suggestions? Thanks

This has been a enjoyable thread. I wonder if I waxed my boat and painted flames on the side how much faster I would go?

Just a guess here but I'm thinking if I were to wax my boat, paint on the flames, and have the wind at my back I could hit 28mph.

You go faster on a little bit of a chop too rather than smooth water.
