[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 460981, member: 15465"] If you are concerned about beaching on a gravel bed, I have done that. I wasn't paying attention like I should have been. It wasn't the end of the world, just kill throttle as soon as you feel it happening. It wasn't hard to push back off. Slight damage to impeller but that goes with the hobby. There is a skill to reading the water for shallows & snags. You will get the hang of it. It is easier for me to read the water on sunny days (wear polarized sunglasses). Also going upstream is easier. If the boat is reasonably priced, you will be able to flip it easy if you decide it isn't for you, as jet boats are in demand in the midwest. Good luck [/QUOTE]
