just put it in reverse and back it on up...

I heard you can in some states, which is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Their reasoning is because if there is an emergency, you have to be able operate the vessel. What a freekin crock. Can you imagine getting a DUI while sitting on your couch because you have to be able to drive your car in case of emergency ? I don't know if the law actually ever was passed, but I remember reading it in here a few months back- I'm not sure what state. Back to the point, I can't imagine beaching a boat like that could be any good for anything. I've had my nose in the sand, but never the stern. In my opinion, if it's warm enough to hang out on the beach, then it's warm enough to get your legs wet and walk to shore.

I'm pretty sure, you have to actually be operating the boat.
