I've had other deep water boat and this is my first jet boat I have a question about beaching one's boat. Since my other boats where larger and I would never beach it because of the drive and bottom damage, why is it I see so many of you guy beach your boats? It would seem that it would hurt the gel coat. Beaching it would seem to hurt the resale due to reading in ads about the seller saying that the boat has never been beached. What say you?
