RedactedNarrative: The operator and his passengers were in his boat heading south in the Connecticut River at about 9 kts. Two more passengers were below deck and the boat was being operated from the fly bridge. The operator stated he was familiar with the area, but was not paying attention and was distracted by the scenery. He had his GPS on and by the time he looked forward and saw water swirling around the submerged rock pile, it was too late for him to take evasive actions and he struck the rock pile. There were no injuries.  Vessel was listing to port.
