I have a '95 Cobalt 220 with a VP 5.8FL motor (235hp) and DuoProp drive (regular, straight up, white DP model). I recently put on new B6 aluminum props because the old ones were badly torn up by the previous owner. The old ones were also B6s and probably original equipment.
At WOT, I'm seeing just a hair over 4000rpm and a GPS speed just a hair under 40mph. The WOT range for this rig should be 4000-4400rpm so I'm in the zone, but it just seems that I should be getting a bit more speed out of her. Does this jive with your experiences or am I missing some power in the engine?
