Default Cruising Speed 3,800 rpm's

Top end is nice, but I don't go there that often. I'm wondering what speed other boats see at 3,800 RPM's? I'm running 62 (GPS) on a 38 and 600's.

I havent used a gps yet, but I think I have 1.36 gears. 540s in a 1991 32 fever. The speedo says 78-79@4300-4400rpms. 27p hydros. I am going to try 25s or something.
