One more hint if you have a i/o pontoon. Do not run the engine with the drive unit trimmed up as it can do severe damage to the unit. With an outboard, as mentioned, get a little speed, kill engine, trim engine up, coast in.
I won't beach my deck boat anymore because of possible damage to the gel coat scrubbing the rocks. Just got through re gel-coating the bottom of my boat because my kids beached it. Also, when you beach a boat with an i/o trimmed all the up, there is risk of water ingestion into the engine, under certain conditions.
