Is that all you got BB?
Post some more to remind me what it's like.
I think I'd hit an iceberg if we went out today.

BTW, I've never beached a boat before. Clue me in on how you go about it. How much resistance before you stop. Do you always push it back out?
Thanks.

I use all 420 horses. Full throttle till it stops.lol
It's 57 degrees right now. Wth!
I rather not beach at all it scratches up the bottom. But oh well it's fun. I don't go to far on the beach but enough to hold it. I throw a anchor off the stern so it stays in one place.
I'll just coast in. Trimmed all the way up. Yea I spin it around from in the water and push it out and jump in and go. If it's deep enough in the back you could just back up and go. I was kind of shallow there. We had a picnic on the beach and caught big fish. Sam and her proud catch.lol

I love the shot of my neighbor from the trestle bridge. A few from last time out.

Yea the little guy on the port side of the bow doesn't like to go fast and didn't want to ride in his boat in the other picture so he came with us. Lol after one ride he didn't want to go back to his boat.lol it was my wife's best friends family and boat. Sam baby sits them all summer. It was a good day. There old seasprite is in great shape. The PO took great care of it. Hardly a scratch on it and the interior is mint. I mean blue.lol

Well, not in the water--Just "close" to the water. :|
Still waiting on parts.

My dad said maybe that should be the name of our boat.
"Still waiting" 8-)

Btw, you can see the keel protector used for alleviating bottom scratching during beaching.

Might be fitting!
I just don't like the looks of the guards but they do what they are supposed to do.

Yes, last Cobalt 262 did not have a keel guard and the chine took a beating. The scratches and nicks looked worse than a keel guard. Learned my lesson.

Funny
I kept looking for a jellyfish in that plastic container, but then finally remembered you boat in fresh water.

Now I see the minnow!
