Default outboard stainless prop question.

I currently have a 13.75 inch X 15 pitch aluminum prop on my 70 hp
Evinrude. The prop was really beat to death by it's previous owner, and
it is needing replaced. I use this boat for diving and skiing mostly, it
runs about 30 knots at present, and yanks me up out of the water quickly.
I was looking to go stainless, but they all seem to have a much higher
pitch, like 19 or more. What could I expect from say 13.25 X 21? I would
guess it would lug my motor down, and be very poor on pulling a skier up.
