With your results that you posted nothing. Great numbers for reliable power. Just listen/monitor your motors. If something doesn't feel right or read right take notice. I had a failing fuel injector. She warned me then windowed the block as I pulled up to the dock. Not a big deal with 2.5 liter fishing motors. Rock on!!

lab those props so they are paper thin, hit the last 6 feet of the running surface with 80 grit if you want to get nuts, it'll reduce friction. make sure your lowers are perfectly straight, check your tie bar, should have 1/8 in. toe in. if you have low water pickups on the transom, make sure they dont hang below the bottom of the hull. there was a product out years ago called speed coat. they use to sell it in the back of powerboat magazine. i actually installed it on a 26 foot donzi with stock power and he gained 2+ mph on the gps. just wipe down bottom and spray on, dip in water, pull out, let cure and walla lol good luck
