Yammie SWS 14d x17p in stainless the old semi cleaver style. New s.s. models are 14-1/4.

14-1/2 x17 in the aluminum.

Semi-cleaver shape is easy to turn and gives good stern lift. They are now making the shape in a 4 blade too for more lift and grip in turns.

Borrow a couple used props from local dealer to get it right.

If you can't reach top of rpm range you may want to consider going to a 15 p. The shape of the prop is as important as the pitch in getting it right.
Good luck
