RedactedNarrative: Operator of V1 stated he was fishing using his trolling motor when he got hung up on a stump.  He stated he got the vessel off the stump and started toward the boat ramp.  While proceeding to the ramp, he noticed V1 was taking on water.  Operator of V1 stated he went to the nearest shore line and docked the vessel in approximately 2ft of water and called 911.  Due to high winds and rough water V1 could not be recovered on 03/28/09, but was recovered the next day (03/29/09).  There was approximately an 8 inch long crack at the center of the stern of V1 which caused the vessel to take on water.
