Do you ever beach your boat

All the time... if I know the beach and it's steep enough! Also unintentially when my slip ring fluke anchor comes loose overnight. Box anchor is on my short list for this summer!

I doubt that! You may just have better situation. Only places I could beach are really flat. I would have a mentioned guard if I would be beaching at all.

Finally..I thought I was minority based on how this thread was going. You'd get a middle finger from me if you were standing on the beach telling me to just cruise up and stop....

Nope. Always anchor or tie up.

Do y'all ever beach your boats? I'm referring to bumping into gear and back into neutral then gliding up onto sand then pulling the boat by person up a bit to set it.

When I was a kid, we always beached my grandpa's boat, no matter whether it was sand or rock. Eventually, we had major hull work to do. My boat is now 10 years old and has never touched anything but water and my trailer.

Can you elaborate with the 1 sideways off the transom?

If I had a pontoon boat I would beach that no problem...never a gelcoat boat. Box anchor off the front and a small fluke style anchor off the transom.

I beach all the time but our sand is so soft it's like giving the hull a massage. Also, the current in my river can make it hard to anchor up and keep the boat from hitting other boats.
