Why don't you call me and set up a time to come and look at mine. I have, in my opinion, the best combo of marsh rig and calm big lake boat". I run a 1556 with a huge front deck, rear enclosed with gun trays on both sides. My tohatsu 40/50 would push it about 40 with 2 guys, 3 batteries, 82# thrust motorguide, and fishing gear. If your M40D is stock, it should run 35-38 mph with the same load. PM sent with my number.
PLUS, Lake Area Marine is a sponsor on this site and I have yet to find a person unhappy with their service.
