Just bought my first boat a 47' ....lol..jk... Got a 1998 searay 215 express cruiser. Took my boating safety class 6-7 years ago and have driven a boat about 15-20 times. Went out with a captain once a few years back when I did a boat timeshare(what a waste of money) and went out again with one on this boat.
Me me and the wife drove the boat over to Kismet, Fire Island and there were many boats anchored close to the shore. Probably about 15' away. Didn't see anyone get off so not sure how deep the water was but people def got off their boats. Spoke to one guy leaving who had the same exact boat as me, he said you need two anchors. I asked about the prop getting stuck in the sand and he said it gets close.
Any my tips on how to anchor in very shallow water this way. Me and the wife would like to do this. Thanks
