Default 25 knots or 25 mph?

I'm just wondering if the operator said he was really going 25 knots or 25 mph when the boat hit the piling. 25 knots is more believable since that is closer to 30 mph which I think would be a more comfortable crusing speed for that kind of boat. I'm just guessing that at 25 mph that boat is not on plane or just barely, maybe even plowing through the water in which case there's the possibility of not seeing the piling at all. Anyone have one of these boats that can share what the planing speed might actually be? I have a hard time thinking this boat was going slower than that for the extent of damage there is. Just wondering.
