On October 6, 2012 at 2230 hours I was informed by dispatch that there was a boat near the island North of Starvation Dam that needed assistance.  I went to that location and found the boat completely out of the water on the island.  Operator and another individual were there waiting.  I helped them get the boat off of the island after we determined it would be safe to do so by pulling it with the park boat.  OPERATOR then motored the vessel back to the boat ramp.  

OPERATOR told me that they had went fishing just after dark along the dam to the East side of the reservoir, didn't catch anything and were returning to the ramp at a moderate speed when they collided with the island.  Although the boat came to a rest completely out of the water, there were no injuries reported.  Photos are attached of damage to vessel and location of boat when out of the water.  He told me that because they started after dark, and had never been to the reservoir before, they didn't see the island or the buoys marking the island.  

I talked with OPERATOR again on 10-10-12 at 0830 hrs. and he said he didn't see any additional damage than was reported originally.  I estimated damage at 2000 or more based on total loss of the prop and a skeg that is likely no able to be repaired.
