Boy, that looks like a nice low hours fresh water engine. Take good care of it, will last a lifetime, can't replace it these days. Yeah, these are more peppy than the old 6hps for sure. The 7.5hp is fine on that rig with just you onboard, but you will need a 9.9/15hp if you want to push the family around though. Maybe you will find a nice old one like your 7.5!
Tell me more about the timming adjustement on the cable ? My 7.5 only gets about 7mph too. Sometimes not even. I had a beat up 6hp that could go 12mph easily

Not sure how to adjust this. It could be bad plugs, prop slip, or your points need to be adjusted. Good Luck!
