Some props are harder to turn than others. Blade shape and blade area, rake, cupping and of course pitch all factor into how much resistance the water forces on the prop. Weight and hull shape, as well as power also influence prop selection. Height of the motor affects this, too.
The Stiletto has a lot of cupping and aggressive rake as well as plenty of blade area. Less power and more weight will require less pitch than what ESD is running, that's why he is recommending a 17 pitch vs the 19 he runs. The cupping is what allows ESD's motor to run so high without blowing out.
Keep in mind your going to have a lot more weight forward with the cuddy and seats forward and all the stuff you'll likely be putting up there so you're likely gonna being riding higher aft anyway.
