Look, I'm not going to get into a pissing match here, but my 2 blades launch hard out of the hole. My P220, in fact, almost seems like it's about to torque the boat into a barrell roll from the drop of the throttle. The 440/3 is the ONLY 3 blade I have run and it cavitates for 2', or so before getting on top of the water. My "theory" is that the third blade produces extra air bubbles that reduces bite. I have video prof of this. Just check the SV Video thread and look at my green SV running the P200 on launch and compare it to my orange SV that has been running the 440/3. I even spun up the 220 on the orange SV oneday just for giggles and grins. Launch was incredible, but the top end paid the price and the handling was way off on the top end. The top end handling deffecencies might have contributed to the lack of a big umber on the top end. If you look at the video w/my SV w/a "wipe out" at the end, you'll notice that the green SV barrel rolled when it got towars the top side for NO reason. Water was flat calm and the tabs were set VERY conservative that day, as noted on the video. It would seem that the SV's tendencies don't fit into the "almost always" category. Now a super feather weight hydro may be a totally different story.
