Yeah, the good ol 18hp OMCs surely are not gonna win any races. But, there are different pitch props available, you may be able to trim the engine out a bit, or perhaps raise it up on the transom slightly. I wouldn’t mess around with different carbs. Needless to say, make sure the mag plate moves freely and the carb butterfly is opening fully.
Keep in mind that you will need an accurate tachometer if you want to mess around with different propellers, a GPS is handy as well.
