I know its not that same boat, but I'll share my experience with my previous 89 220 DA w/ 5.7 sterndrive.
I bought the boat with 400 hrs and added a 17" pitch SS prop right away. The boat would hit 4500 rpms at WOT and 42 mph.
When I sold the boat 10 years later with 1100 hrs, I could only hit 4200 rpms and 38 mph. Same prop and boat loaded the same way.
Also, the oil pressure readings were not quite as high at 1100 hrs as they were at 400 hrs.
