Default Re: low rake prop

I used the search function and was surprised that I did not find more info as far as props go for 20' SC's. For those of us who are not in the know, what exactly do you recommend as far as low rake props go? Lets see if I can summarize what others said about what they are currently using:
Fr. Frank, I believe you said you were running a custom 16.5 pitch/14 dia/3 blade on your 20 Seafari with a 150 Carb Merc. R. Nahim - 17 pitch/15.5 dia Mirage on his 20 with Merc 200, NoBones - 21 pitch LaserII on SF20 with Carb Merc 200. BigShrimpin - 17 pitch/14.5 dia Al Prop with 1981 Merc v225. Bobber - 14.5x19 ss Rapture on SF20 (motor?), HatTrick - 14x19 Al on SF20 with Yammie 150 4-stroke (pitch drop recommended). Recommended prop series appear to be Mirage and Powertech Offshore 4-blade although some are using props I would have thought would be eliminated by the low rake criteria. Are there any other series that are recommended?
