Your not going to find 5 mph on that boat,
by changing prop rotation.

I'm going to assume the're turning out
( l/h: ccw, r/h cw) now.

Turning them "in" sometimes results in
more speed, but in my own experiences,
it's netted no more than 1 mph.

Docking maneuvarabilty is worse with
them turning in.
