the cmc will work you just need to trim you sponsons lol, if it were me , i would go with a bobs machine setback plate in front of the hydrallic plate for a total of 10 to 12" setback, I run 14" with my 2.6 excell and its perfect, handles great and pops the hull great, you dont need to trim down to take off from a standstill either. I'm looking at a 3.3 yammi next year and will probably just remove the 2" spacers between the setback and jackplate so I have 12", I heard the same things as you, but I can finally tell you first hand these hulls like setback, trim to the moon and pop the hull and trim down and you are gone. I have also learned it takes BIG power I think to get them over mid eighties, I am running as high as 1.5" above the pad with 14" setback btw. I am running a 15 1/8" solas scorpion and it works well all around 85 is the most speed I have seen so far.
