WOT rpm's on a 1982 80 hp merc outbpoard bluestripe?

I have not gotten the manual for this motor yet and am wondering if anyone out there knows what the wot rpm range for this motor is or if a website exists that might include this information. I'm not sure I have the right prop!

Thanks.........

If you prop it to hit 5300-5500 at W.O.T. with only you in the boat, it'll be just about perfect.........ed
