What Is WOT RPM For 1981 90 HP Johnson?

[Woodnaut]

Can anyone tell me the WOT RPM range for a 1981 90 Hp Johnson. My buddy just bought this engine from a boat shop. It appears to be in very good shape and seems to be a honey of an engine.

Here are the engine specifics:

Model: J90TLCIM
Serial: J5493077

Thanks guys.

5500 would be good.

my 81 70 hp evinrude is between 4500 and 5500 rpm. Def. nothing over 5500 rpm.

I'd revise that to nothing _under_ 5500 RPM. With today's fuel you're lugging the motor if you're any less. I try and target 5800 and when I get within a couple hundred call it good.
