Going to a short shaft motor for your short shaft transom should get you at least another 5 MPH – you are essentially dragging a 5 inch club through the water. I’ve seen blocking the motor up the thickness of two paint stir sticks (about 1/4 inch) give a 35 HP motor another 2 MPH on a lightweight 14′ aluminum runabout. Gas mileage will increase too.
