ok the transom is the back of the boat ( so no the transom wont plane ) but the whole boat will. the problem is if you said that the back end dosnt lift up that is because od the way the prop is set up( so no worries) and it would hurt if the prop is a little out of the water bacause if the boat planes the boat lifts out of the water and there for 1/4 of the prop is not in the water and the boat will porpous and not go at a significant speed any more Question im am now intrested of how the boat turns out so keep emm comeing LOL
