Ok...... I'm asking:

About how fast at cruising speed - 4,000 rpm or so

And how fast at WOT ?

Best of luck with that motor.
I'll go out on a limb here. Depends on the prop, but assuming he's running a 17P ss I'd expect the cruising speed on a flat lake to be somewhere between 36-44 mph gps. More once he gets the bottom of the boat fixed up. WOT should be 50-55. Anyone have a different opinion?

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
