Default what size prop for a 20' sf

I have a 1988 20' seacraft sf with a 150 merc and a quicksilver 48-16312-a5-15pitch (14" dia)prop. I am repowering to a 200 merc efi, any thoughts on what size prop to use. I'm concerned about over revving with the existing prop.

Default 2001 20' Master Angler with a 200 OX66

I have a 2001 20' Master Angler (25" transom) that I just repowered with a like new 200 OX66. I am running a 19P Laser II turning 5400 rpms WOT at reliable 52 -53 mph on my Garmin - about 4% prop slip.

I have tried 5 different props and that's as dialed in as I have found for my rig.

Propgods is a great resource.

The Lazer is what No Bones has and it apparently works well - I have a 19" Stilletto, I would recommend a 17 though but I can't imagine a prop working any better across the board. In spite of my protests I don't think Ken handles Stilltto's yet. I don't think the Mirage+ with the large diameter works as well on a 20 as they do on 23's.
