Question: When Duncan tried to shake off the Mosasaurus, he drove the boat into shallow waters, which is a logical choice. But then, why did he have to crash the boat? Couldn't he just stop close to the shore instead of running aground, making the boat completely useless?

Answer: It could be argued that he was panicked and not thinking strategically, but realistically, this is an action movie, and that means more crashes, explosions, and mayhem for audience entertainment. There also has to be a plot device that strands them on the island.
