A three blade will produce more
thrust than a two blade. But before you can get any good advise you need to add some more information; How much horsepower do you have? How fast does the system push the boat now? What is the gear ratio on the transmission? What is the diameter and pitch of the present propeller?

Fastest prop?
Normally a 2-blade will give a higher top end speed at 'light' boat , but with more vibrbration and noise. A 3-blade gives more thrust, less vibtation and better milage economy. However if you are talking about sailing speed, 2 blade winns due to less drag.
