Yeah, I reckon they don't have to worry much about barnacles on the bottom. They hit that sand full-throttle at maybe 25 or 30 knots, depending on the boat.

Not sure if you can see in the pics, but in some of the bait boats, they just drill a bunch of holes in the sides below waterline and let the water just free flow in and out.

They're definitely some pretty good boatmen down there, though. On the Pacific side they run those skiffs in and out through head-high surf on a more or less daily basis.
