Can someone explain why it's faster in shallow water than deep water?

I think it has something to do with you can't push the water down out of the way (since there is a bottom to stop the downward flow), so the boat rides higher in the water aka less drag, but I'm not a docter.

all boats will run faster in shallower water.

This wave raises the boat higher in the water causing less drag on the hull thus allowing the boat to travel faster with the same amount of forward thrust.

I have one problem whit what you just said. In shallow water haves are not always bigger. In fact, they are usually smaller. If you have a 15mph wind blowing 1 mile over an area that is 5' deep and the same wind blowing 1 mile over an area that is 3"-10" deep, that waves in the 5' area will be much larger because the water has more room to get pushed down and get bigger.

Not wind waves, pressure waves. Think sunami.

Oh ok. I feel like an idiot now.

actually your example explains it also. Where the bigger waves in the deeper water meet the shallow water they will get taller and "break". When they break, they loose their energy. Thats why the waves are shorter in the shallows.
