I have heard that the pro series props by Yamaha have worked very well with that combination. I think that might be what Moreyes runs if memory serves me correctly. If your motor is mounted down flush to the transom, you could move it up and potentially try a 13-1/2 x 19 pro series prop. You might lose a few RPMs overall, but if you go down 400 by the prop change, and gain 200 back by moving up 2 holes or potentially 3, you'd be right where you want to be for your desired RPM's.
I believe that motor is designed to have a top RPM of 6000, so you may also need to consider a 17 pitch as well. I know some guys who run the Michigan Rapture as well and have had good results with that prop as well. Lots of props to choose from so Shep's suggestion of finding a prop shop/dealer that has a demo prop program would be ideal. Take a bunch of props and try them all...one will stick out as being better than all the others.
Good luck and enjoy the project!!
