mercury mirage plus 19" prop, hydraulic jack plate, and trim tabs will give you 50+mph.

Lighten the boat up as much as possible by removing any excess gear and get the engine up as high as possible (cavitation plate will be about 3" above the bottom of the hull). You're motor might be too high already if you can't get the bow to porpoise w/ full trim.
