What model Volvo diesel engines did this boat have? It seems they have
upped the max RPM considerably in the past few years. My older (6 year old)
Volvo TAMD-63P's (370 hp ea.) are only rated at 2800 RPM at WOT.

D6 Volvos are rated for 3500 RPM. We got a reading of 3650 at WOT,
(indicating we were very likely under-propped).
