When I went down from 75 to 60 my top speed changed about 1-2 MPH.

That's interesting. I thought the opposite because of the nature of
the two hulls.
Unless that 1-2
Mph represents a large percentage of total speed.

I went from 23-25 to 22-24 (depending on the load).

Interesting. A 20% drop in horsepower resulted in, for all practical
purposes, the same speed. I assume that the props were similar in
size and pitch?

When operating non planning vessels you can throw outragous amounts of
HP at them with little effect in speed
