Like Bryan wrote, a knot or two may not matter too much, but you'll see a big improvement in overall throttle responsiveness; especially when loaded. It also puts less strain on your motor.
FWIW, on my 20' SeaCraft with a 130 Honda I gained about 800 rpms by going from a 17 to 15" prop. YMMV
It might be a good idea to get on a big boating site like the hull truth and asking that questions. It would be nice to have someone with your rig giving you the straight scoop.
