Location: Hayward, WI | 53, I never worry about the few seconds of hole shot either as far as speed, but how the boat behaves is 'relatively' important. If you're by yourself and the weather is decent, a boat that comes out of the hole slowly doesn't really matter. But, but two more people in the boat and then get into big waves and you'll see why you want the boat to come out of the hole quicker. If you're plowing waves for a long time, everyone will be getting wet. I've never been in anything HUGE, but it sounds like if you're in really big waves, a boat that really struggles to get on plane can be somewhat dangerous.
For most uses, it's probably splitting hairs. Good luck with your new motor and enjoy the boat. My Navigator is my 2nd boat and I love it.
