Lurked in the background and congrats on your find. We lived on a lake for years having a wide range of boats and other watercraft but no longer and now really miss it. I could go on and on all aspects of recreational boating but will skip the chit chat. Boats are very personal on many levels but just get out there and enjoy it!
Although, for some quick advise, get two props to swap out. Best performance investment you will ever make. Spend the money and you'll soon understand. Unless your in the low lakes, swamps use a crappy aluminum, otherwise get rid of it and get 2 different pitch / diam. matched for the desired performance and in stainless. It's certainly not all about horsepower!
#1 A spare is always advised (obviously depends on your boating environment, but just because you think your'e in safe depth and other hazzards... you never know when some bizarre tree trunk or other is just under the surface.)
#2 Fuel economy gains depending on your load for tour or outing.
#3 For performance, for out of the hole, ski, towables, etc. or perhaps top end.
When you shop, go to a prop dealer marina who will let you trial or test and return. This is a must.
