I've been boating for more than 50 years in salt water, and I have owned
and been on dozens and dozens of boats with "full," notched or perfectly
straight across transoms. Not once in any of those waters have I
encountered a situation made dangerous by the height of the transom.

I browsed around my HD and found this .wmv of my boat in what I'd guess were
2' to maybe 3' following seas. I'd put my transom in the same class as
Harry's.

Not exactly survival conditions but no wet feet either.
