youre not chicken; you just respect your boat more...
I would only beach a dingy....heck I didn't beach my seadoo when i owned it and I had it for 12yrs and the bottom was spotless. so Why would I beach a boat.

I am also concerned about getting sand into the speedometer sensor - once something gets jammed in there, forget it!
Interestingly though, the new Sea Ray Living magazine has an article about the new 290 Sundeck and they mention that you can beach it, since it has a fore and aft ladder. Apparently, Sea Ray condones beaching ones boat. :smt017
I don't think I want to have to have a shovel on board... I guess I don't see the attraction to beaching and the possibility of damaging your boat when you have those anchor thingies available to use. :wink:
