Top end

What do you get on average at top end/cruising speed on your duck boat? I get 6000rpm(I'm guessing about 36-38knt, don't have a mph gauge on the boat) at top end and I cruise at between 3500 and 4200 rpms(about 28-32knts)

Depends on your motor, boat size, prop size and pitch. 6k seems a bit high but check your owners manual. On my "fun" boat I like to have my top end around 5500 rpm(87 evinrude 90hp) can't think of pitch right now but I have a couple props depending on what I'm doing with it.

The 14 has a 4 blade prop that is pitched kinda low, will maintain 22 mph with almost 1000 pounds, thinking a three blade will get me mid 30's
Thinking the "guns" will be giving me their 16' here pretty soon, I shoul be able I get that to around 30 with a little work

Honestly I never checked the speed on the 16', the 40hp pushes it pretty good, but a 75hp tiller would be awesome and slightly dangerous, just depends on whos driving!
And yes it is ready to roll, just needs gas and a battery.
