used motor for 20 MA?

[Seacraft84]

I just bought a '77 MA with a '95 175 Johnson. Yesterday running into the wind(steady 15mph)and current I could get 28-29mph @ 4000rpm. 43mph @ 5600rpm. With the wind and current 31-32mph @ 4000rpm. 47mph @ 5600rpm.
That was half a tank of gas and my skinny arse.

Trim tabs and spray rails are going to be the first investment!!!

CaptCurt PM if you would be interested in the motor. I am planning to close the transom in and redo the rest of the boat next winter and was going to sell the motor then and go by a new motor. This will give me an excuse to go ahead and get some new power!!
