20 pitch prop will take you to 45 mph at 3300 with 15% slip. Diameter is dependent. Start big (16.5"-17" ???) you can always cut it down. You may need a custom propeller to find this size.
HP to weight ratio suggests you should be able to do this pitch. Of course this is without knowing the boats configuration.
