I love them, they were actually built for my SUV MTI that has alot more weight in the bow. I kept them and ran them on Hammertime and really liked the ride. They seem to hook up a littler better when turning and really carry the bow over other boat wakes. Also no porpoise at any speed.
I rarely use these as I had a new set of 38's built, again with the 20* rake.

Ex. Gino had a set of 10 degree rake which I beleave the blades
lay flatter. This would give less bow lift then a 20 degree?

Exactly, more rake = more bow lift.
It is basically the angle of the trailing edge of the prop. The higher the rake the further the blade reaches back making the blades longer on the leading edge.. If I set my props down on the trailing edge tips, the back of the prop where the nut goes will be higher off of the surface the props are sitting on than a standard prop.
