has any body ever updated their old speedboard with a newer model and actually gone much faster? Have they actually improved that much?

Only asking because my old 2010 wood Starboard W44 is looking real scruffy, it's structually sound, it looks bad. So I checked new prices for a new SB W44, to much ??????, even later second hand ones are big bucks.

So so me being a Scrooge, I'm thinking of letting my local board builder give it a freshen up, paint and new footpads. For starboard, the updates seem small, although they are all now made out carbon instead of wood.

am I missing out on extra speed from a new or newer board, is there actually that much difference?
