Depending on the prop I run here are my results.

21 pitch Vipers
Top speed 64mph 1.6 mpg 5900 RPM
Best cruise 34 mph avg 2.2 mpg

19 pitch rev 4
Top speed 56 mph avg 1.5 mpg 5850 RPM
Best Cruise 31 mph Avg 2.1 mpg

These are with a full tank, 28 gal of water. 4 people and ice.
Runs were done with wind from left to right at 5 knots. Slight chop on the Banana River.

It's been a while since I did these test. So i may be a little off.

Before ethenol fuel my numbers were much better.
I want to say thank you for the information, the prop information will save me from having to waste time playing around with different props.

Tony
