Just put smaller props on HIS boat when he is away. 
What props do you and your dad have?

Although I believe you should let your dad win, I agree with the above post...it's always going to be easier to slow your dads boat down...switch a couple plug wires, put some water in his gas...bend a prop blade of his slightly...gelcoat a little hook into the bottom of his hull...pinch down one of his fuel lines a bit restricting fuel delivery...restrict his air intake a bit...there's a million things you can do that are low cost or free and sometimes easily reversible with little or no damage to his boat without you spending a wad of cash on your boat....but again, I'm all for letting him win...you know in your heart who's faster!

LOL.....I was just going to post something similar!
There's two way to win.....get faster, or get them slower. You could hide a few hundred pounds of sandbags in the bow of his boat somewhere.......or you could always rub some snake oil all over the bottom of your boat.
