Hi,
It would be best if you posted your question on the C250 forum instead of the swap meet forum.
I understand that your boat should have a hull speed of about 5.5 to 6.0 kts.
Many things can influence speed, Propeller condition, cleanliness of the hull... I do think you can run your Yanmar at 2500 to 2800 rpm, check your motor manual.
Cheers
