I just turn mine upside down on the bank. I flip it over and jump back in case there is a snake. That's only happened once. However, one time there was a young, about 3/4 grown, skunk. I lit out running with it after me. I looked back at about 30 or 40 yards and it was turning around spraying in a circle.

Wuss!
Just don't ask me to help prepare the boat the next time we go fishing together.

Second ...
I went fishing in my jon boat last week. I got home after dark. So, I parked the boat and trailer in the driveway, in lieu of needing just one more item needing body work.
I went off to work on a two day community event.
My boat is designed to float even when filled with water. While I was gone, we got about 7 inches of rain. It didn't float.
I hadn't pulled the drain plug before parking it. It filled to the brim.
This is not my recommended method of storing a boat.
