Maybe a little optimistic but possible. The boat is 1750 lbs which will provide a good firm ride in rough water conditions at the price of some speed. Keep your gear light and It will run great! When the wind picks up, you won't worry about speed and the ride and comfort of the Phoenix will put a smile on your face.
Don't get hung up with the speed thing, There are probably 10 other factors that will enhance your fishing experience...

Good Luck! ...and post some pics when you get it ... we like to drool on this forum...
