The only thing the prop will change is the efficiency of your setup. Laser has nice thin blades, smaller diameter, and is a fast prop. I personally like the mirage plus because of the stern lifting characteristics, but folks here will run both. You've got a 20ft CC with a heavy I/O. The 20cc is light in the bow to begin with . . . without the 600+ lbs of motor/outdrive. But if you're truely after efficiency, get the Diesel, have someone blueprint the hull, have the prop labbed and be done with it.
