5.5 will not make a 10' boat fly. I built a 13 hp SD for a 12-14' boat and was able to get about 15 max. What type of drive setup does it have? V-belt, chain, cogged timing belt? I used a cogged timing belt from Gates. Check out their timing belt website there is a lot of info there. Also, try to figure out what gear reduction (if any) you have. Let me know if you have any questions.

couple things :
1. What gave you the impression that motor would fly ?
2. Would you really want to fly with that boat ?
3. my best advice would be to save your money and buy a new mini mm from a mm mfg.

I'm not sure what the stipulations on "flying" are, but here is a 6.5 hp surface drive pushing a 1236 15-16 mph.
