I ran a 1850 for a few years most of the time with a 150 2 stoke. I am a big guy and also a guide and have tried many different props to get the best out of the boat. The best performance that I got was with a 19 or 20 pitch 3 blade but I run the boats heavy. I have found that every boat is different even if the model is the same. When the load is on the lighter side a 20 or 21 pitch SS lifting prop gave the best mix of RPM and speed. Your 4 stroke my be a bit different but I would start with a 20 SS. I also have not found that a 4 blade was any better on the Crestliner.
If you are in S WI I would give Props Ahoy a call they can help you and know what they are doing. Tell them Tom from the Ironman sent you.
Also if you have any questions I have notes from about 15 different props that I have tried on 4 different 1850's you can give me a call. Tom 414-550-1379
