1. Boating is new to you - there are no stupid questions.
2. Fisherman are usually helpful, unless it comes to sharing their favorite fishing spot.
3. Like Short Fish says, get stuck on purpose, calm down and think it through.
4. You can read all you want and watch any video but it is much easier to have someone show you.
5. Unless you are actually on plane driving the boat flat out and beach it, you can get unstuck
6. Those weeds you worry about? If they were 100 yards wide, I fish in the middle of the heaviest weeds you think there is, out of a deep v boat.
Really, you are new, anyone available to show you how to do stuff? If I was at the dock and you approached me, I would take you out for hours and get rid of your worries. Even talking to someone to show you what to do on dry land helps.
Here is a great video of your worries - notice that the big motor is tilted up and the trolling motor is set shallow, your boat is pretty much exactly like the one in the video also.. Sorry facebook link.
