Not exactly. His problem is prop pitch. A lower pitch and larger diameter would give him more bite at low rpm, but similar top rpm numbers. His top end performance (ie speed and fuel efficiency) would suffer SLIGHTLY......but his boat would run better and plane more easily. Being able to remain on plane at lower speed and higher bow trim is a HUGE advantage when the going gets tough....and well worth giving up a little high end performance unless you plan to cover very long ranges at very high speeds on very nice days only.
