One has only two blades and the other one has three!
OK, seriously. A 3-blade prop keeps at least one blade in the water at all times on a surface drive. Some prop sizes only come in only with only one or the other. What's more important is to find which prop the boat likes.

Surface drive. It allows the prop to run half-way out of the water letting the engine rev higher and most of the time letting you turn a slightly larger prop in the process.
