Default Low transoms again

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.

Eisboch,
When I had a 20' runabout with a full 24" high transom, I would get a
monster wave rushing towards the boat and some water would still come
over the transom. You would have drop the slowly so the wake would
dissipate before coming off plane.

My cruiser will bring in a wave, but the transmo is high enough that
nothing comes on board.
