Optimum cruise with a 14.5 x 15P 4B Cyclone prop on my rig, with a full cruising load, is anywhere between 22 & 28 mph at up to about 3800 rpm, at over 4.0 mpg. WOT is about 5400-5450 which matches the optimum WOT range of 5300-5500 for my 2007 motor. The optimum RPM is up around 5500-5750 for the later E-TECs, but your CC model is lighter than my Seafari, so you may still be able to spin that prop up to optimum speed for your motor, provided your AV plate is above solid water.
