Default Need for speed!?!

I'm sure that laser can help me out here, but I'm a little baffled as to what's going on....I own a 1999 Nitro Savage 896 20footer with a 200hp Merc...it has a 6" jackplate and has been adjusted to 2.5" below pad(a little low-maybe) and has a 23Pitch (yes i'm 100% sure) stainless tempest prop..I recently switched out my old giant marine batteries to lighter and more useful optima batteries (WOW! what a difference on the holeshot..INSANE!) all 3 optimas probably weigh the same as 1 of my old bats. Anyways back to the problem..I can only get 63-64MPH on the gps and some of the guys I've talked boat speed with say I should be somewhere in the low 70's..are they full of it or can I make some adjustments here to get me by...also my WOT is off the charts my RPM gauge is tackin' 7-8grand...WTF?
