There are no cons to a tall transom, build yours up and you wont regret it. ;)

got a buddy that hunts reelfoot and he has a low transom on his boat. He has swamped it twice backing the boat into a steep ramp. Go with the tall transom.

Tall transome for sure... I have a tall transome and got all kinds of water over the transome before I added pods... kieep in mind this was a lowe Jon boat so its not as heavy in the nose as a custom mud sled is... having a short transome would suck...
