I agree. Mine easily cruised at 15 knots without breaking a sweat. I actually was underpropped as well so might have been able to squeeze another knot if I wanted to get precis with prop pitch. And it burned 6gph at 15knots at 2800rpms. Not bad for a larger planing boat. When I would average my fuel burn on a mostly day trip basis it was 4gph....due to all of the slow speeds in between planing speeds.
