Hello all, I just completed a great holiday from Lake Macquarie to port Stevens ( ocean coastal) -myall lakes and back home. I love the boat - a Chung hwa clipper 30 with the 80hp lehman but the time to get up there 9hrs is a bit tedious for a 45 nm journey. From a more experienced point of view is there any avenue worth pursuing to get a bit more speed? I expect the only way is to change props and or engine or new boat. I know it's probaby a dumb question otherwise we'd all just have 80hp engines pushing big cruisers along at planing speeds by changing props- but another 2-3 kts would be good.
