Hi. I have a 14 ft Lund rated for a 35hp. I just put a 1966 33 hp Super Seahorse on it and am unimpressed with a gps 21 mph speed. I have added about 200 lbs to the lund with floors and casting deck but was expecting closer to 30 mph with the motor. What speed should I expect? The motor seems to run pretty good, but the hole shot seems weak and it doesn't feel or sound like it is reaching a top RPM. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure as I haven't taken the prop off yet. The guy I bought the motor from said that he made 38 mph on a bare bones flat bottom 14 ft alumacraft.
