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.

Also ... any fuel burn rate (at cruise) numbers, estimated or measured for
this setup?

No. I normally record fuel burn numbers on vessels where there is
already technology aboard for the purpose, but my publication doesn't
install, remove, or adjust *anything* during one of these test runs-
and that would include a fuel monitor. Sometimes I report
fuel burn numbers claimed or stated by a third party, and indicate that
a third party was the source of the information. In this particular
case, there wasn't really any fuel burn info available so there is none
in my report.
