I would figure its a 55-60mph or so boat with that power. I would guess something in the 24 pitch range, but that can also be affected a lot by prop diameter.

You can plug and play with some numbers here http://go-fast.com/Prop_Slip_Calculator.htm
and here http://go-fast.com/boat_speed_predictions.htm

On a 28 single engine V bottom, I would expect slip to be 14-18%
