    Going from aluminum to SS

    SS props are at some great prices here on iBoats so I'm gonna pick one up. I'm going from a 14.25" x 21p aluminum to SS. That size in aluminum is perfect. What should I go with for SS as far as size and pitch? A 14.25" x 23p Michigan Rapture is $205. How would that size act?
