What are your WOT rpms? You will raise your RPMS 200 to 300 rpms dropping to a 30p.
Also, if you lab your 32's, you could gain 200 to 300 rpms, while still turning a larger wheel,,,, better performance!

Slip is bad. Need to determine why first.
5 blade props can be the ticket on hulls like yours. The 4 blade props should be better than they are though.

You're already spinning the 32" props at the right rpm. 28's would theoretically spin about 800rpms faster. Your engines would be hitting the rev limiter at 5100rpms.
