Watch out with that cabelas high proformance prop. It is heavily cupped which is good because it prevents slip, but it will drop your RPMs about 200-300. Each pitch will move your RPMS 200-300 hundren so by moving from a 15 to a 17 all thing being equal you will reduce your rpms by 500 - 600 hundred. Just make sure when you test it out that the motor can get to the required operating range. With the standard yamaha black stainless steel I can run a 19 pitch and keep my rmps in range, with that cabelas I had to drop down to a 17 because it is a great prop with no slip.

I have a 19 high proformace prop but I can't run it on my 17.5 boat with a 115, so with a 100 I would try the 15 pitch first.

my 2 cents.
