The issues I have had with beaching my boat in the past have been entirely due to others not securing their boats properly, causing damage to mine. That’s a difficult variable to eliminate without pulling the boat from the water.

WRT the discussion around tiller, side console, and full windshield I often ask people if they company in the boat. If not, tiller or SC is great and very fishable. If you want to start taking others with you, a full windshield helps make it much more enjoyable for those that aren’t quite as “die hard”. I’ve had all three and I find that my wife and kids are far more comfortable in a full windshield boat.
