    Personally I wouldn't beach it. I back in usually waist or a bit higher deep and tie back and front off.

    Ditto, I have never beached my inboard boat. I use a bungee cord on my front anchor line, use a line on the back. Using a bungee on the front pulls the boat back out from shore. Use the back line to keep the boat straight and use it to pull the boat back to a shallow depth to climb on the platform. HTM..

    Well the thing is where I camp and park the boat as soon as you step off the bank it drops to 8' so there's plenty of room for the prop I just don't like pulling the front up on the bank without something under it to protect the gelcoat

    It is much easier to get in and out of our boats from the stern, which is why we anchor them bow out. I also use a bungee anchor line off the bow and a rope off the stern to the shore that allows us to pull the boat close to shore and step on. Super clean setup and the way to go. No mat needed and gel coat stays protected.

    Same as above...I would never drive my boat up on the beach, I always back in or anchor in the middle of the cove with my box anchor.

    I beach my boat, at my lake there's a channel that everyone hangs out and party's. It's tough to have a Pugh room to back in a boat, anchor and tie off the back. I don't beach on rocks, I have a few small scratches but it doesn't bother me. I am super anal about my boat though. If they were bigger I would get it fixed but you don't see it unless your under the trailer.

    You could get a keel guard though.

    We beach ours on occasion but have never used any type of mat though. I know there are keel guard things you can stick to the keel for protection, but if it's a soft sandy beach I've never had any problems. Hell, I get more scuffs on my boat from the trailer bunks than anything any my gel coat is black down there so it shows everything.

    Lakelife, you have a beach situation only a few have experienced. Most people don't have to swim to their boat that is 8 feet away. Two ways of doing it: 1. Get an anchor buddy and the bungee allows you to pull the stern onto the beach for loading. 2. I will nose in and drive the nose onto the beach so people can step up onto the beach. I only do #2 with the soft sand and no boat traffic which is common. I use no pad as the sand is no worse than grit filled bunk carpet.

    That anchor buddy looks cool! but how well does it work in a situation where your anchor can get lodged/stuck on the bottom? it seems like the stretch in the line would cause it to be difficult to pull up by hand if it were stuck. I know you can sometimes run the boat fwd to pull a stuck anchor though.
