I have a 22 ft tritoon w/a 2005 Mercury Optimax 150. Anyone know what miles per hour i should be getting. I was hitting around 35 but thought i should be getting more...35 is plenty for me..just thought I would get more.

Also, I get some sort of oil lubricant (dont think it is engine oil) that comes out from under the botton of the cowling(not the engine cover that comes off).. the portion just under the exhaust. It drips out as the bobs up and down in the water or if I run my finger along it..i get a thick coating as well. Any ideas what that would be?..is that normal?
