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

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.

To achieve that though he probably has to run WOT for a while which will drink the fuel. 

No he runs 3/4 of a throttle he wont run flat out

In which case it would be worth fitting an aftermarket rev counter just so you can work out what revs you're getting and then work out whether a re-prop is the way to go.

Probably worth borrowing a 15 pitch and seeing if that gets you more knots then.
