A word of caution to people who leave their boats on the beach in inland lakes. In the past year, I have seen seen two Sunfish in my area "totaled" in microburst storms where lake levels rose a foot overnight. One hull floated off a sand beach and pounded itself to death on a nearby cement seawall. The other one floated off a hoist and came to grief on a nearby rocky beach. It makes sense to move a beached boat well above the high water line and then tie it securely to a fixed object. If you keep your hull on a hoist, crank it higher than you think you need to and then lash the hull securely to the hoist. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.
Happy Holidays.
