1. The transom would rise and fall with the wave action.

2. Boat wake and any waves would hit the transom, and it would rise and
fall with the wave action. You might get a bit of water on the deck.
Maybe.


Just for giggles, take your shoes off, get 'er up on plane, then quickly
pull the throttle back to idle as if you suddenly lost power.

I've done that in boats with shorter transoms. Sometimes a little water
came aboard, sometimes it did not. I suppose if I really were worried
about getting my feet wet in a small open boat, I could wear boots.
