Back when my father owned the boat with a 140hp on it, he would bump across the bars to get into inlets. The bow would be slightly lower than the stern, with the motor trimmed up he said he would literally bump the bow across the bars with the combination of the waves washing in and the motors forward push.
Now I have the boat with a hydraulic jack plate and haven't taken the time for real sea or shallow water trials. What MJ said sounds about right, I'm real interested to see what goes on with the jack plate also.

Kind of on topic...and will most definetly make me sound stupid but whats the best way to run aground??? Ex...."honey why are those crab pots half way out of the water??"" ahh **** were not gonna make it.
Is it better to slow down as easy as allowed? Throw it in neutral while raising the engine? Keep it on plane and hope to skip across? Thoughts. -Svence
