Will try to get my "new to me" 15 SS in the water this week. I splashed it in October but did not have all the wiring completed. Now the tact and GPS are operational so I will be lookling at the numbers. What top speed and WOT RPM should I expect? The boat is 1988 with same year 60HP Johnson mounted two holes up. It has a 3 blade SS prop but can find no markings as to pitch,etc. The motor has been "gone over" by a authorized dealer with kits in the carbs, etc. I will have two people (400 lbs) and 12-15 gal. fuel. It will be on a lake so little or no chop. Any help from those with similar rigs will be appreciated.

I would expect ~40+ mph and possibly 45 if optimized and running a light load.
