It sounds about right, what's thae numbers on your prop?
My 150 will give me just about 30 with just me ( I'm a little feller too at 265), fishing gear and a few fish, I'm runnin an 11 x 11 5/8 on a Yamaha 40.
I also have one of those Hydro fins on the lower unit The fin will get you out of the hole a bit quicker and save you a bit on fuel as you can plain at a lower rpm.
Make sure you have a good water fuel seperating filter on your boat with a ten micron element (I use a Raycor) And I also use Star Tron fuel stabilizer (The one for Diesel) and either Seafoam or Ring free all the time at one oz per ten gallons I swear by the stuff when you are using E10 fuel.
Other opinions about it may differ with mine but I swear by it and it keeps the boat out of the shop and running.
