Default Prop Suggestions -- general ball park....

I'm looking for suggestions, knowing there can be no science or hard answers....

350 ci Carb'd engine
23' cuddy cabin boat
4100lbs

Current prop is a SS 14x19
Old prop (I'm assuming, becuase it was on teh boat) is alum 14x17

I don't know the WOT RPM as the outdrive is currently off; but want to get an
approximate or good starting prop for 1st sea trial.

I heard the current SS prop was hard to get up on a plane, had to be going
fairly fast, and once on plane, dropping off the throttle, it'd drop back off
plane.

Discussion, suggestion, etc is appreciated.
