That's impossible to answer without a recipe. 
It's certainly not overly low or overly high, so you will have beer when it's done.

+1 on needing the recipe! Also, it is important to know what temperature you took your gravity reading at. Most hydrometers are calibrated to 60F or 68F, and you need to convert your gravity reading if it was not taken at this temperature.

With BeerSmith, I get these numbers:
5 Gallon Batch: 1.047
5.5 Gallon Batch: 1.043
Sounds like you're in the ballpark, should come out to around 4-4.5% ABV.

Anyone else use this????
I think Yooper's is great. I'd stack it head to head with the original anyday.
I'm planning on brewing it again soon, now that I have harvested a bunch of pacman yeast. I'll probably do it as my next batch as soon as on of my fermenters becomes free. By then this batch will probably be coming to an end, at the rate I've been drinking it.

Nope, it is a 60 minute boil.
When the 60 minute boil first starts you put in 1 oz of perle, with 30 min left of that boil you put in 1/4 oz perle, with 5 minutes left you put in 1/4 oz perle and saaz. After that last 5 minutes you remove from heat and cool to the temp where you pitch your yeast.

I brewed this past weekend and I boiled 3.3lbs LME and 3.3lbs AME, 1/2oz. chinook and 1/2oz. glacier hops for 60 min. then I added 1/4oz. of U.K. Kent Goldings and boiled for 15 min. then I added 1/2oz. willamette, U.K. Kent Goldings, and glacier and boiled for 5 min. what do you think this beer is going to be like?

Should be tastey!!! My guess is if it was a kit it was designed for a 60 minute boil (similar to the way I listed the hop schedule above). But the way you did it should be fine. It will probably be slightly more bitter because the hops were boiled longer, but I don't think it will be overly so, and it should come out great. 
I just had a rogue deadguy, and now I'm drinking my version of Yooper's clone...and I fairly believe that mine is better! I think partially because mine is fresher, but still. Yum!!!
Nothing beats your own brew! Especially when it tastes better than the original!

degrees Lovibond. It's a unit of measure for beer color. You might also see it as Crystal 40L
