KingZ,
That speed sounds about right, I have an 07 215cc with a 150 Etec. Also has a T-top. I'll do about 32-33 knots (GPS) with a normal load, i.e. two people, some gear and feul. Just a guess but the T-top is going to slow you down by about 10%. I started out with a 14.8x17 prop and it would only tach out at about 4900-5000 rpm's (29 knots). We changed to a 14.8x15 and went up to 5200 rpm's. You could go to stainless steel and get a little more. The prop size should be easy to locate, just keep looking you'll find it. I hope this helps.
