RedactedNarrative: On 2/5/12, subject reported a hit and run boating accident occurring on lake norman.  The damaged vessel was a 29 foot 1988 lake craft pontoon boat with a starboard side console.  No one was operating the vessel, as it was moored at both the bow and stern with its port side against the dock at this residence.  Subject stated that the accident most likely occurred on saturday, 2/4/12 based on the last known account of the vessel being secure.
  
  The aluminum side wall on the starboard bow was crushed and ripped from the anchor points which held it in place.  The starboard bow bench seat was ripped from the floor and pushed over upon impact.  A crease was noted at the base of the aluminum side wall, along with a small v shaped indention in the metal strip on the floor decking.  This crease and indention appear to be consistent with the bow of a boat having a v shaped hull.  There was no paint transfer, fiberglass shavings, or other evidence to support this theory.
  
  Neither the vessel nor the operator of vessel 2 could be determined, due to this being a hit and run with very minimal evidence.  It appeared as though a vessel with a v shaped hull struck vessel 1 on the starbord bow at a fairly slow speed.  The top of the bow crushed the aluminum side wall and ripped it from the anchor points.  The underside of the bow struck the metal strip on the floor decking leaving the indention.  The snap on boat cover was ripped as a result of the impact.  It was also noted that vessel 1 had apparently not been operated in some time as the motor was completely covered in algae.  The registration on vessel 1 was also expired as of 3/31/11.  However, it was not being operated at the time of the accident.
