As a starting point if it is about 1000lbs and considered fast a 15 may be a good starting point.

If you start with a 13 if it ends up too light you could still use it by just watching your rpm.If you did a 15 and it lugged the motor you shouldn't use it for any extended time beyond speeds just above no wake.

Your Legend came with a 13P oem prop. absolulte garbage. you want to try a 13P hustler. We have nearly the same boat, and I have been playing around with props for a bit. Please read my review...
