I think it is best to do the story quest sparingly, keep your weapon levels equal, don't spend all your points right away, and not do to much sailing early in the game.

I'm Level 34. Most of my weapons are between 20-22 ('cept Grenades and Staff). My sailing is at Level 17. I finished the story quest when I was around Level 24. I have not assigned all my skill points on all my weapons, but neither have I been "stingy" with them.

Yet, I get rep numbers just like what you've posted -- and have been all along. Granted, since I'm Level 34, I now need to kill enemies in the mid- to high 20s -- but I could probably still pull 100 rep from a Level 23 using my Doll if I tried.
