If you're in the right RPM range, the 14X17 may give a tad better hole-shot but my experience on the Force is that it likes the 13" series of props better, as in the 13-1/4"...alot depends on the difference in blade design and even boat design. The 14" will allow a higher X-demension and may add some speed/RPM depending on how you set it up.
