4. And now a question for you "practical" types...

When a heavily-laden planing hull with a big transom accelerates from rest, it
often creates a very large wave behind it. Is this primarily due to the wet
transom? Is it more to do with the wake created by the props? Or is it
because the vessel is in shallow water when it starts?

Leo,

I have noticed that while playing on the beach, I could kick up a larger traveling wave in ankle deep water than in deeper water.

In deeper waters, is it possible the propellers are kicking up the waters before the boat accelerate? Similar to a person starting to run on a long carpet. He will ruffle up the end (start) before he starts accelerating.
