If I am understanding your question correctly then the answer is you report the rated horsepower for your model, not what it is at the prop. So, if you have a Merc 700SCi and at the prop the HP rating is lower, that does not matter. You will still be rated at 700HP unless you can prove lower by way of dyno sheets. Depending upon the carrier, that small difference in HP doesn't even affect the rating.
Hope this helps.
