Yamaha f6a propeller change.

Hi, I have a 2007 F6A 4 stroke on a honwave 38t air floor, is there any way I can make it go faster? It just about gets on the plain with 1 adult in, I thought change propeller or is it the tilt on the outboard, or would I have to change the outboard? Thank you in advance

Leave the prop alone
Make sure the floor, tubes and keel are at the recommended pressure
Keep weight to the absolute minimum
Trim the engine out a notch or two (if it ventilates on takeoff, move it in)
Use a tiller extension to get forward a bit

Having said all that - I think you need a new engine
