Are you staying with Evinrude or open to other manufacturers?
What's your budget and how fast do you want to go?

Hands Down! Suzuki DF300AP This is the one with Fly by wire. You do NOT want the Dual Prop one...They have Bugs. It will bring a Smile to your face the 1st time your able to run it after break in. In fact before that due to being Extra - Extra quiet.
You will want a Suzuki 3 X 16 X 17 Prop.

This is a Plate....... Refereed to as a "JACK plate.

This is a Engine Bracket [Not refereed to as a plate] They are typically built out of alum... Some are Fiberglass. Parker used a company called "Stainless Marine" to supply them...But they are NOT stainless...They are alum. Latter on they used Armstrong engine brackets.
