17" OMC/BRP SST/SSP/Viper or 15" Stiletto Advantage are all very good choices for that motor on a Montauk.

I have the original OMC aluminum prop on mine. It's a 13 x 19. It tows my kids fine, and I have seen 44.8mph on the GPS.
Tom is the authority on props though. I believe you can drop some pitch when going to stainless. I think I'd go to a 13 x 17.
