That could be true, slow spool up time can be a killer. I think it depends on the mishap rate and I'd have to find it but I think the F-8 had the highest accident rate around the boat. The one great thing about the E2/C2 at the boat is that instantaneous power response. It got me out of trouble a few times. A few months ago, a former C-2 driver and now 45 IP (not me) had a cut pass at the boat. Can't leave it at idle for too long.
