Best way is to try the one you have, then you have a baseline. 4200 sounds a bit on the low side for that engine thou'. Don't remember the exact rpm range for the 330, but 4200 is not much. Have you ever tried anything else pitch and prop wise on the boat? Is it GPS speed?

I would just try the prop you already have to get a baseline on your changes it might put you up to 4800 where you should be
