I have a 28 ft hydra sports vector with twin 250 etec's both right hand propped, no port counter yet...still looking for foot.

I currently have two 19 in. Rebels on it and it turns 5300 @50 mph gps loaded with 300 gallons of fuel / ice and 4 people.
the starboard engine is last to come to 5300 due to having to use the trim tab to keep boat level....

I would like to get 17 in. Rebels and see if i can get 300-400 more rpm....

anyone know why i shouldn't do this, or can you tell me that i won;t see the 300-400 rpms.....I would like to see 5600 at least so it is not lugging these outstanding motors....

250 HP (3.3L 90?) 4500 - 5800 Operating - range 5500-5600 Optimal - range

I would see if you can get a prop shop to repitch your 19's to 18".
