I can't say about a 44 but most boats I go on are over propped from the factory. They must spec the props with half a load of fuel and water and two people. That being said, when you add all your gear, full fuel, full water etc and then add a dinghy to the stern I would agree with Volvo, you need some pitch taken out of your props.  Capt.  George
