Re: Beach your boat on the sand? or no
most of the sandy areas here in the 1000 islands are peppered with rocks, either free ones of varying sizes, or ones connected to the continental plate...and none of them have round edges.
that being said, NO WAY. Sanding your bottom...and gouging it down to the 'glass are two different things.
anchored in 30" or so of water above sand I know, yes...often.
I usually walk the boat out some when leaving also as sand plays he!! with impellers and housings.

Got a lot worse damage docking the boat at a dock when the bumper fell off than beaching the nose of the boat up on the sand.... Dayum, and I thought I was anal-retentive about my boat...
Last but not least....I WEAR SHOES ON MY BOAT!!

I'll never do it! Some say it's not worth more or less at resale time, but I looked at 5 boats before buying my current one. All of them had been beached and it was very obvious. They all lost a sale because of that, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that passed on them.

It's funny, people buy REAL expensive vehicles and don't worry nearly as much about them as they do their boat.

Don`t beach very often even if your boat is 19 years old
