Underpowered?

I'm looking for a new boat and am seriously considering a new Princecraft Starfish 16SC. I'm just try to get some first hand advise from the people who use a boat like I do, for Fishing!

I fish for bass, pike mostly and am not interested in speed. The package I'm looking at has a 25 Merc and the boat itself weights 510 lbs( no motor, fluids or gear)

My main concern is the getting the boat to plain with 2 or 3 ppl. I was talking to one of my friends who got me thinking about this whole underpowered thing.

Please let me know what a ballpark top speed would be based on your experience.

Thanks
