Really low, in ground effect, the elevators would buzz from the prop wash hitting the water. That is one time where the impact of being in ground effect can be noticed. Also for a given power setting the indicated airspeed would go up about 10 (???) KIAS when you're close to achieving zero ground effect. ;-)

With jets the buzzing in the elevators is not present.
