If it helps... I had an Orkney Coastliner with a Honda 20hp on it. Smaller engine and smaller boat. Best I ever had was 12kts.

I'm sort of agreeing with Jon, 14kts with a 25hp isn't too bad for a semi-D hull like yours.

When i spoke to orkney and they say i should get at lest 18 to 20 with the 25hp on her

14 knots for that boat and engine doesn’t  sound too bad. Have you previously achieved better in the past or is that what you have been told to expect?

My friend has the same boat and he can get 19 with a 25hp yamaha

I personally would have thought that a bit optimistic. 
Are you reaching the stated rpm for the engine? 

It dosnt hav a rev gauge as they didnt do them on a 25hp johnson as a garage told me so i dont no im afraid i hav been asked be for

Iv dun concession test and 125 in each and tryed to props and the best iv got is 14knots and boat is good for 22knots with a 25hp on it
