i get around 17 w/ no trailer or anything. as much power i have i figure that i would get close to as much. one time pulling the boat i got 18.

Try towing with the Tow/Haul mode button OFF. With that light of weight, you shouldn't need the Tow/Haul mode's aggressive, and fuel eating, shift characteristics.
