Leave the motor where it is as a new stainless prop will have better cupping and grip. I would choose a Mercury prop. They make some of the best props on the market and are used on all manufacturers.
If you are going with a 4 blade, I would go with either a 17 pitch Rev 4 or Vensura
Most big mercury dealers have loners or will let you try a prop. You can also contact Ken @ prop gods and get good advice.
