Other than the possibility of the water level dropping a bit and making it tough to get the bow off the beach (which can happen at some of the reservoirs that are known to drop more than several inches in 12 hours), the biggest problem I have with beaching these boats, is the increase of elevating ones feet even more while sleeping in the berth. For those that suffer acid reflux, not a great position...Assuming you sleep feet forward, beaching the boat raising the bow that much more causing the rear to squat even more. This is also going to allow any large wake to come over the engine splash well. My preference, if a dock isn't available, is to tie stern in. That places the bow into any waves/wake, and keeps the boat relatively level. Colby
