During a confined area takeoff from a smooth water surface (no chop) at 2,000 feet density altitude, with a 10-knot headwind and 80-foot obstacles located 400 feet beyond the upwind shore, what is the MOST appropriate airplane configuration and initial climb speed after becoming airborne to ensure obstacle clearance?

You are performing a confined area takeoff from a small lake in a seaplane, with 150-foot trees at the departure end. To achieve the maximum performance climb for obstacle clearance, the airplane should be configured with

What is the appropriate initial airplane configuration for a confined area takeoff and maximum performance climb in a seaplane?

During a confined area maximum performance takeoff in a seaplane, what is the primary effect of a choppy water surface?
