Default what prop for pontoon boat

My neighbor has a pontoon boat I believe he said it is 20 feet by 8 feet
with a force by mercury 75 H.P. outboard he is confused about what his size
and pitch his prop should be. Is there anything I'm missing as far as info
needed to determine this. Thanks for any input you guys out there might be
able to give us.

That is typically going to be a 14 7/8 x 11 or 15 depending on the
weight of the boat.
I have a new in the box SS 14 7/8 x 15 that was too much pitch for my
Merc 60 on a 20' pontoon. (entertaining offers) but it is likely this
is too much pitch for you too. 11 is right for my 60. I am not sure if
you can get 13.

I had a 75 on my boat before with a 19 and that was too much although
I ran it that way for 3000 hours.
