Agreed, nothing worse than seeing a beautiful boat come in and the owner don't want to get his feet wet so he drives it a shore......:shakehead: Seen it happen way to many times :(
 
I was looking at them but never saw them in anything but black and white, the red one has got me very interested. The place we go to with the boat is a beach and I don't like doing that to my nice Mate. If I could park the boat somewhere else close by and let the kids play on the beach I would. Its got nothing to do with getting my feet wet or sandy, its just that an 8 and 4 year old get bored real quick on a boat, especially when they know their friends are playing on the beach nearby.

There's one installed under my tubing boat and I'm glad its there. Held up very well, been on there for years. Not sure which brand.
 
Only a moron would beach a boat like that, then again you did buy it and haul it home slinging rocks all over it with those mud tires and no mud flaps or flares. Dont forget that is gel-coat not paint and one of a kind Checkmate.

WTF DRIVER :lol: is this your first boat or you just dont give a damn
 
I think either one would be good, personaly I don't know what the big deal is with everyone on the beaching thing if you have a keel gaurd, maybe all your lakes are full of rocks and not pure white sand like mine, EVERYONE including me parks on the beach here, if you dislike that this one will blow your socks off, after we park on the beach we use our L/U's as an anchor,:eyecrazy:

Going their are we, atleast my boat is not named the booty hunter. I can get booty on my boat with out hunting for it. Or is that the reason you bought the boat so maybe you could try to get some booty.

By the way how is your watch doing

I'm with John Lamon on this subject, boating is all about stopping on a beach and doing your thing, If your to anal to get a couple scratches on the bottom of your boat then you might as well wrap it in plastic and put in the corner of your garage. If your able to anchor offshore great, but I have the mighty miississippi current to deal with and I have to get it up on the sand so it don't float around. I've had a keel guard on mine for 3 years and it works fine, I hate to rant but some of the posters on here seem to think were dealing with diamonds and were not, I like to keep my boat nice but You do have wear and tear just like a car. Same thing goes with food in the boat, I own a vaccuum cleaner, if a passenger happens to drop a chip on the floor I can vacuum it up. Remember people boating is suppose to be fun. Keep on smiling.
 
I'm not coving anything, you already quoted what I said. The fact here is your a donkey that has no buisness in the boat you have. Remember your still fresh here and this community is tight so out of respect [not yours] I retracted my statement.
