Here's a picture and comments from a review.

"I really liked the fascinating design of the scuppers: four 2-inch
drains on centerline with a hinged lid for easy access to clear
detritus. Should you ever get water in this cockpit, it won't last
long. Add to that an innovative opening panel in the transom door
called a "freeing panel." Should you take green water over the
transom, it can readily escape through this hole in addition to
through the scuppers."

Anyway I thought the swamping comments and a look at the one-way doors
interesting when I watched the video.
I get the boattest.com e-mails and occasionally follow some links.
On second thought this setup has some space disadvantages.

It's simple...if you take a greenie over the bow or the sides, a boat
with a transom like mine will shed that water a lot more quickly than a
boat with a closed transom.

I have no concerns about taking waves over the transom. In fact, I have
backed my Parker into some large wakes just to test my theory, that very
little water comes aboard.

Now, if I had a bubble boat, I'd be concerned, because the water will
flow quickly into that cave of a cabin below the deck and sink the boat.

Not to get into hypotheticals, but assume my previous example for a moment.
Your are out there drift fishing in a bit of a chop, the wind suddenly picks
up due to a thunder boomer nearby, the seas start getting confused and you
start taking a few splashes over the transom.

You wisely decide it's time to head in, but, alas! That reliable Yamaha 4
stroke suddenly decided to have a bad computer day.
It won't start. The boat's starting to bounce around a bit, some of the
growing waves smacking into that transom. Your feet start getting wet ....
oh .... wait ... that's ok. You don't mind.

Point is, if you took a serious greenie over the transom for some reason,
don't you need power on to clear it "quickly"?

That's why I have a Yamaha, and not an eTec! Instant power on. :)

Actually most of the time water rolls right out the *four* transom drains.

You guys seem to think that a 25" transom is...lower than a 25" transom.

Sorry. I was thinking of the transom cutout where the engine sits. What
is it's height to the waterline?

That's the 25"+ part of my transom. The rest of the transom is about a
foot taller. Fascinating, hey?

Do you have a standard length leg on that engine?

If so, the pictures are very deceiving.

"Most of the time"? Just how often do you take on water over the
transom? What happens when the four drains don't do the job?
