Propeller help for Alert 17

I also have a side console and a custom bench seat/leaning post. Most of the time passangers and equipment are about 500 pounds total. I know have a 13.25x19 aluminum propeller and would like to change to ss. I have a brand new stilette advandage 13.25x15. Would I be able to use this stiletto prop mounted 2 holes up? I fish only in central lake erie so I am not really looking for top speed, but quick plane and mid range power. If the stiletto 13.25x15 will not work, what would you recommend? THANK YOU in advance.
