I have a 1989 20 foot Maxum with a 125 Horsepower outboard. The motor runs well and I reach 37 MPH at 5000 RPM. Does that sound accurate?

The motor is a 125 Force. I had the motor tuned up and the top speed is about 37 mph. That is if the speedometer is accurate. I was asking because I just got the boat and I wanted to make sure this was a satifactory speed.
