Ouachita? Thats where I call home but wouldn't even consider beaching because all the areas i go to are rock. On the old aliminum deck boat we beached on islands all the time. I just cant see myself doing it with the new boat. Will likely use the same technique as Razz and the rest.
Like you said, though, there is no walking to the boat. Our depths go from 3 ft to 30ft in 1 or 2 steps.2016 Moomba Mojo

I bought my buoy at the local dealer also, when we had one.
It is silly to think you would beach your boat just because other wear and tear happens. So you would not prevent the other damage if it was possible by an easy fix. That seems silly to me. Plus, it is easier for everyone to get in and out of the back of a boat.'07 Moomba Outback V.

Sorry guy's,guess I'm not a purest.Beach mine all the time.I did put a Keel Guard on it which saves a-lot of wear and tear.There are a few minor scratches on the bottom of the hull but I really don't care about resale...I'm keeping my Moomba forever!

Question for those of you using the anchor buddy - anybody using it with the "box anchor"? I'm planning on purchasing the anchor based on Newty's recommendation as I need a new one anyway.
Thanx!

Viking you'll love it! They are a little spendy but worth every penny. As far as the anchor buddy, as long is there is no major current or high winds they work great.
I Beach now and then on beaches I know to be safe. In my opinion sand on the bunks of the trailer from launch ramps, does far more damage than beaching in soft sand. I didn't beach my first year and the keel still had light scratches. Now when I say beaching I mean I get out of the boat before we get to the beach and pull the boat up by hand, not under power.
I see guys powering up so the boat won't drift and it makes me cringe.Last edited by newty; 05-28-2010 at 03:13 AM.
