How to Increase the Speed of Your Boat in 4 Easy Steps?


Get your boat all set to speed up this season with simple and easy tweaks, obviously with the help of a professional mechanic.  Always keep in mind that performance comes for a value so if you really wish to speed up your boat and are ready to pay some price then read further.
Fine Tuning of the Propeller
A finely tuned stainless propeller can help in better turning and high speed to some extent. The cost for this can be a few hundred dollars but it is worth the job. It is better to find a local propeller tuning workshop in your area and get the needful done. If the mechanic is good, then he or she can boost up the engine to great extent.
Change the Header on Exhaust
The headers that come pre-fitted with the boat are not that efficient and do not provide a smooth flow.  Just make sure that you check this before buying a boat.  If you are looking for ships for sale online, then you can follow the manual for specifications to verify the same. The steel headers of good quality can come for few thousand dollars and can increase the horsepower up to 40. This means that you can expect a raise of 4mph in the speed of your vessel.
Play with the Timing
Advance the timing of your ignition and put high performance fuel to avoid any type of pre-ignition knock-ups. This will increase the speed of boat but will eventually burn more fuel. Also, the boat must be fully compatible to match the standards required in this modification.
Super Charge
The most expensive, yet most effective method to speed up your boat. A supercharger requires some advanced configurations and costs thousands of dollars, depending on your purpose, but it will give you great speeds. Many people, who find cargo ships for sale online, ask for this configuration.
