The boats look like they're WAY up the beach, much further than I typically power up the beach. Their sterns are almost out of the water.

The shore is very steep. 4' from the shoreline the water is 3' deep. You can push your boat up like that and still have plenty of water under your drive. I like my way better, but very few will take the trouble.
