Not as fast as you would think since the motor weighs as much as the boat. 38mph max with 1 or 2 on board. The problem is two fold I think. The center keel of the Futura isn't as flat but instead the last 8" it curves about 1 inch deeper, deepest at the transom hence the splashing around the transom. Second the boat is made from rubber fabric that isn't perfectly smooth like fiberglass. But In my opinion the futura with the speed tubes is the only sib design that can handle the 60HP. And its very stable! Last year I added a wood filler piece to flatten out this dip but It was a little too much. This year I'll do something half way in-between and see if its any faster. But the sensation of speed when in it scares everyone on their first ride. Keep in mind it's only 13' long. My knees are 7' from the bow.

Just to add a note. My boat is a futura. It’s hull design with speedtubes is stable enough for the large hp outboard. Also my main tubes are 24” dia. To better hold the transom

Why is there so much water splash seen side of motor, seems motor sits too low on transom. Raise it a tad till the spalshes are cancelled out, will gain extra top end speed along a much faster hole shot from a dead stop.

I have raised the motor and it ventilates with the slightest trim. Sibs all seem to be splasher at the transom especially Futura's like this one.

Some isues : Does the motor bahaves the same on flat , calm water condition if possible to test ? Once on plane is the trim set to 90 deg for the boat to run parallel to water level ? As you have an excellent deck load distribution it's a matter to play with different motor heights while the trim setting remains set at 90 deg and the excessive water splashes dissapears or lessens to a bare minimum.

Exactly where? You say back of transom. If you are talking speed tube use toob seal or equivalent. I had a blister that popped on one side. I used a traditional two part glue and patched. Small bubbles still leaked out and toob seal fixed. 3 years no problems. The other side started leaking and though the bubbles were tiny the toob seal didn’t hold. I decided to patch like the other side and again use toob seal. Now it’s good. If I have trouble again I’ll consider replacing speedtubes with polyethylene foam shaped to match. (Boogie board foam) My dealer said this problem is common. Ps. It’s important that you see the toob seal coming out where the bubbles were. Dry in sun 24 hr. Test for leak. Try repeating if bubbles still come out

How old a boat? You should register to Rib.net then ask questions there. Inc good pic. Lots of very smart guys into inflatable boats. When glue starts letting go it can be a sign of trouble. Transom and floor are hand glued to tubes. Tubes are welded and don’t go bad.
