I doubt they will match OEM so you may want to replace both and keep the original just in case.

While the 130 Sport (model naming changed ~ 2002) is an improvement, it will not be significant.
What really makes a difference is LOA and deadrise. A 13' is still a 13'.
Try finding one of the many 17' models. My Montauk 17 beat my brothers 13' Sport every day.
