I'm not convinced having a 40hp is all that great on old 13' Sports. It seems going max hp on 60-70's hulls get you diminished returns for that speed in handling and maneuverability. I believe this is true going up to 17-18 ft hulls, and especially true with 4-stroke motors. Reason: weight. JMO.

25 to 30 hp two-strokes I believe are best on old 13' Whalers.
