Correct propeller for an E38 Univ. 5432 Diesel?

Well, I can tell you what came with my 1989 32-200 E-38, also with a Universal 5432 (though I don't know about the reduction gear being the same).
It came originaly with a 16" diameter two blade prop, running 13" pitch. This was replaced by my PO with a three blade 16" Max prop, which he rather cluelessly set also to 13" pitch. After a few seasons I have settled on about 10.5" pitch for the three blades.

5432 Prop
I have a 5432 and a 3 Blade prop, I'm not sure of the pitch but the prop works well the engine turns at about 2100-2200 rpm increasing RPM beyond that does not result in any more speed.
My Original 2 blade prop is on the boat as a spare.
I suspect the smaller 2 blade would result in higher max RPm but the original Owner replaced it with the current three blade and I am happy with it.
