when I'm beaching my boat (at least twice every time I take it out), the skegs usually dig in before the bow hits the sand. The prop never makes contact.
But....most Florida lakes have a gradual shift in depth (like ocean beaches). There are no sudden drop offs into deep water.
I always shut the engine off in 3 feet of water when I'm heading towards shore and let the boat slowly drift in until it stops.
