Default 3b vs 2b

I have a 55" aeromarine apache with twin AMPS c/r outdrives connected to a 1:1 gearbox and a gas motor. I have 2b alu 55mm props which gives me 20 actual mph, scale is around 170mph. I'm looking at a pair of 3b 50mm alu.

My question is will they work? I know, at least with planes, you go smaller dia going to 3b from 2b.
Is 50mm going to be about right for my boat? I hate to spend the money if they won't. I'm looking for the scale aspect, speed around 20mph and looks as most real boats have 3b or 4b.

Thanks in advance,
