Now I'm going to bring physics into the discussion. (learning about intergrals in Calc class) The engine with the most area under the curve is the stronger engine.

Now I had it explained to me this way many years ago by an older retired navy man. Horse power is waking up with a big raging one , and torque is having your feet fly out from under you when you push it down to take a pee..

Some lighter, and faster hull boats ...this doesn't necessarily ring true.
If we lose overall in the curve to get more power at WOT, then speed can be higher.
If heavier, slower hulls - than yesm this is predominantly true.
I'm talking speed, not necessarily acceleration, above.

I might lose some traction when I push it down but I'm pretty sure the days of having my feet fly out from under me are a thing of the past. I've used it nearly every time I had the chance so I'm good with losing a little traction.

I learned early, on my own, it's easier and safer just to lean and put your forehead against the wall. Better aim and it hurts less. Ha !
