Or those who actually use their boats.

The problem with the splash guard is it is only a few inches taller than
the large hole in the transom.

They can't even do that right.

Not in this case. Everyone I have encountered in person on the water or
at the dealer expos or in the actual boater discussion groups has either
not opted for the damned dam (!) or has removed it because it is
unnecessary. Except for one guy, that is. The top of the transom at the
motor cutout already is 25" minimum, and the dam adds about 11" to that.

Two of my last three small boats had "motor well" transoms. The third
was an open 20" transom. If a large stern wave wants to come aboard, it
fills up the well and flows right over it into the cockpit, and then the
issue is getting rid of the water in a hurry. Same if you take a greenie
over the bow. The issue is to get rid of the water, fast. If you have a
a "motor well" transom and only a pair of bitty scuppers to drain the
cockpit, well, you might have an ocean of trouble in your boat.

Typically, when a wave hits the stern, the stern simply rises. Sometimes
you might get a little water aboard. If you do, the scuppers drain it.
That's been my experience for more than 50 years. I rarely boat on small
inland lakes, but if most of my experience was on small, protected
bodies of water, I might be afraid of the ocean, too.

All the Parker's with transom cutouts I saw at the boat show had these
splash boards.

I couldn't help thinking, they must be there for a reason.
