I realize it is a sterndrive, but thanks for pointing out the obvious. Actually, I have one on the back of my boat, so I know quite a lot about these units. I wasn't necessarily responding to you, I was responding to the ealier posts that asked if there were any counter rotating surface drives.

I've installed on the same boat the single and the duoprop of Volvo Penta.
At the same displacement and power the gains in speed have been:

single duoprop
---------------------
25.0 > 27.5 knots
30.0 > 32.4 "
35.0 > 37.6 "

In effect 2.5 knots more. Better acceleration too.
