Got a picture ?
Google turns up some really squarish shallow draft boats
A newer engine will likely get you better mileage
Clean the hull
Paint & polish it really smooth & glossy
Add "stern plates"
Dunno what they are really called, but they are plates added aft of the stern, along the underside of the hull, and extend the apparent length of the hull
Increase the fineness ratio: make it longer, or narrower
