Bottom Paint.
Your hull is fouled to the point that it is causing too much drag.
My first indication is always that my speed/fuel economy starts dropping.

I agree that a fouled bottom is most likely, but if the running gear was fouled, no way the engines would hit full operating RPM’s.
Yes, we need more info.
