Tom/Tim, Thanks for all your input. I do have to decide the prop and from what you guys are saying (and my research) it seems the best prop choices are the following. Now i have to figure out how to pick one.

Yamaha 13.25 X 14 P (stainless)

13.25 x 15" Stiletto Advantage (stainless)

13.25 x 13" Stiletto Advantage I (stainless)

Yamaha 13.5 X 15" aluminum prop?

I was just thinking aluminum because there is a lot of shallow areas in my local waters and I was told in the event you ground or impact floating debris an aluminum prop would cause less damage to the motor itself because aluminum is a softer metal. Anyways, im sure there are a lot of opinions out there on this subject.

and it seems 18' control cables?

Thanks again everyone for all your help and suggestions. it is all very appreciated.
