I have a marine GPS ap in my cell phone and I recently bought a Cobra 6100. Amazingly, they both show speeds almost exactly corresponding to the boat speedometer. It was right on at 10MPH and below and also correct at 40MPH.

The most important factor on San Diego harbor is the ride. I tilt the engine all the way down to keep the bow on the water.

I see slightly bigger Navy and Coast Guard boats on the Harbor going pretty fast--with no pounding. Their deep bows just plow through waves. I am envious and so are my frightened female passengers! ha.
