Prop walk is just part of the beast, some more than others, The Cal 9.2 has a deep rudder that quickly overcomes the prop walk. The worst boat that I've been on is the Catalina 27, it can do circles without end. The rudder is a little small in size, and not very deep.
If you are not sailing one design, you could have a new rudder designed and installed that would reduce most of the prop walk, but not eliminate it.
