Doesn't the extra torque of the diesel allow you to swing a bigger wheel than the gas motor, which would also give you more top end?
the amount of room available for a bigger prop may be limited by the boat's design. There should be "X" amout of clearance between the prop and hull. I don't remember all the figures now, but if to close the prop can cavitate and or "for lack of a better word" sandblast the hull. That's not what they call it, but you get the idea.
