Four Winns offers multiple engines in all of their boats so without knowing the exact boat and motor combination any comparison between the two boats would be difficult.
The op mentioned that the brother in law's boat has "dual blade stainless" props. If the brother in law's boat has Duo Props it would perform way better than a single prop even if it were the same size boat and motor.

Had a feeling this would be tough to explain, and figured might not get a good answer without all the good information.
For comparison, both of our boats are Four Winns 220 Horizons. The hull design of the earlier model I have made the boat to be much larger, specifically on the interior and in length as well with swim platform I believe. I have trim tabs, he doesn't. Engine difference is that he has a volvo penta and I have the older King Cobra engine I believe. Prop difference is hgue given he has stainless dual props where I just have the 3 blade steel.
Regardless, I think the best advice above was to contact four winns directly and see what advice they have in this area. My concern is that it could lead to the purchase of a new boat
Trying to address the prop and upgrading it was my way of trying to get rid of the itch to upgrade the entire vessel.
