[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 331185, member: 6937"] I've thought about buying a small 12V electric winch, and then setting up some kind of rigging where I can quickly hook it to my jetboat, like the bow or transom eyes.... and carrying this setup on board for when I go to unfamiliar rivers, just in case I make a mistake and run aground. Might be a good time to go ahead and actually buy one, and figure out how to rig it up, because, just like running out here in the saltwater, if I run the rivers long enough, it's not a matter of if I run aground, but when. The difference is here in saltwater, in a 6 hour span, the tide will rise about 6 feet, which is enough to get off a shoal. There's no tide in the river, only controlled releases from dams upstream, and those can be unpredictable. Having a way to get the boat off the shoal is a real consideration, because, I sure as heck ain't gonna move 1100 lbs, not even with 2 or 3 other people. [/QUOTE]
