Just make sure you prop for speed, not thrust.
Actually you should prop for more thrust instead of speed. The extra thrust will help for take-offs.
Do this by using a larger diameter prop with less pitch.
Josh,
Sorry to disagree, but unless you have a ridiculously overpowered plane, all you will do by propping for thrust is make a big wake. You have to build the speed to get the plane on step. Thrust isn't going to do that for you. Speed will. Water takeoffs are a totally different animal, with a lot more factors than taking off of terra firma.
