I have a 78 with a 200 Johnson on it. 43 seems a little slow. You might want to weigh your boat and compare it to the original specs. (allow for any gas in the tank) Waterlogged foam can add a considerable amount of weight and slow your boat accordingly.
As to the props, what TheFermanator said is good advice. Just remember if switching to a SS prop that SS flexes less than Alum, so normally you move down a pitch or two when switching. (So a 17P Alum becomes a 16P SS).
