Do you know if the prop is clean and in good shape? Four knots in a C&C36 at 2000 rpm seems slow for sure.

Hard to believe one would live with those conditions for long - did the previous owner have the same experience?

A fouled prop (and/or rather dirty bottom) would produce this kind of problem.
