Prop

The patient is a '81 C27 with 5411 Universal Diesel. While motor sailing I experienced an extreme vibration, put it in neutral and it went away. Got her home and dove under the boat yesterday. One of the blades of the 3 bladed prop is missing. Dang, I hate when that happens. I would appreciate comments from the group on the replacement. 2 blade vs 3 vs folding vs $$. I pulled the cotter pin and there are two big nuts holding the rest on. Is there any chance I can replace the prop while still in the water?
Thanks all.
