Location: Hayward, WI | I think the other consideration is guys that fish a lot of big, rough water. It can slow your holeshot some taking off into big waves, and can probably be a safety issue - either having your bow up in the air for a long time or taking water over the bow before your boat is out of the hole and on top of the waves.
I've never been in scary big water, but when I've been in some bigger waves with 4 people in the boat, a full livewell, and a 50 4 stroke tiller, it made me feel like I wanted the boat out of the hole and on plane as soon as possible - a little quicker than it was able to do.
I think another factor is just the satisfaction of cranking the throttle and being up and running rather than taking 1/2 the lake to get out of the hole.
