As a personal rule, I never put an energy weapon on an OB equipped AC since AC's generator would have share its energy with weapons, standard movement, and the the OB system.
What I would initially do is to tune the GULL's heat output to the max (some people opt to tune it 2 to its heat then 7 for its acceleration, though I'd prefer my AC's running cool as it minimizes risk). The initial Boost power on the GULL is already fast enough to serve your needs, so tuning it all to Boost Power will only give you slight gains.
I'm assuming the choice of legs was made through the weight stat, which is supposed to affect indicate the max speed of the whole AC (The fastest overall legs in the game are the DINGO2 by some freak physics glitch in BS underweighting). However, I for one feel that there are better lightweight legs under your disposal like what Sforzando has already mentioned, the 84L2 (Which is one of my favorite LW legs in the game alongside the JAGUAR2). My bias when it comes to design and game play is to maximize the amount of defense one has available (through tunes or to use parts with better defense-to-weight ratios).
Speaking of defense, the A72F is the LW AC's best friend in balancing out Shell and EN defense ratios, give it a try and see if you like it. Oh, and you didn't post your FCS, so I'd recommend the MIROKU for your current setup.
