Yes, I tried the 3rd from the front on 2 trips to Mission Bay and found the bow was not raising enough for a good plane and had the bow catch a boat wake a couple times and it made the Solo over react to the steering and once it made a scary u-turn. The 3rd trip I set the engine trim pin in the 4th hole from the front and that was a huge improvement. Any more and the engine will hit the hull if turning the engine fully. 4th hole is the bomb from what I found.

In the last launch video once I got past the surf and I accelerated, I kept the speed down to under 10 mph mostly 9 mph just because of being inside the reserve.
