Welcome to the Four Winns family. Make sure you read your owner's manual. As for prop size, it depends on what you want....holeshot or top speed. If you're looking for a holeshot (getting up on a plain faster), like a 15:1 or a 17:1 pitch. That is how many inches foward movement for 1 revolution (depending on zero prop slippage). A higher number pitch (21:1 or a 23:1) will produce more top end speed. Your pitch should be stamped somewhere on your current prop. Also, the type (stainless steel or aluminum) will also play a part. The stainless will not flex as much.
If you're keeping her in salt water, don't forget your bottom paint and to replace your zincs....
Good luck and good boating.
