I grew up renting a wooden row boat with my dad and using our 1973 9.5 hp outboard.
When we put the motor on a tin boat it was much faster !
Then I had a 16' aluminum boat with a 40hp that I fished for about 8 years.
It moved.......and pounded till it leaked so bad I had a bilge pump rigged to keep it from sinking.
I like watching your skiff run along. It would be fun if you put a 40hp on it.........with video's reading " trying to be the first to the grounds as the captain puts the hammer down" !
