Default Which propeller for my airboat?

Hi there!

I just bought a Dualsky Eco 2212C 980KV brushless motor. I want to scratch build an airboat the size of the Aquacraft's Mini Alligator Tours model. I think I should use a propeller similar in diameter to the stock one, a 5.5x4.5 (right?)

Now, there is something like the matching between the motor and the propeller. At the shop where I bought the brushless motor they told me that it can handle a 9x4.7 to 10x5 propeller, according to the motor's specification, of course too large to fit in the cage, unless I build a larger boat. Will the boat flip in a turn with a propeller that size? Or is that motor-propeller matching intended for a larger airboat?

In case I follow the size costraint for the airboat, which is the size and pitch for a brushless motor like this one?

Thanks,
Robert
