ON 8/22/09 AT APPROX. 1314HRS I WAS FLAGGED DOWN BY A MALE SUBJECT ON A WATER SKI THAT STATED THAT A BOAT HAD RUN UP ONTO A REEF TOWARDS THE MARINA. WE HEADED THAT DIRECTION AND LOCATED THE BOAT ON A REEF JUST NORTH OF RATTLESNAKE COVE. V1 WAS ON THE REEF NEXT TO A REEF BUOY. DUE TO THE VESSELS POSITION I COULD NOT SEE THE TOTAL EXTENT OF DAMAGE UNDERNEATH THE VESSEL BUT THE VESSELS WHOLE LOWER UNIT WAS MISSING. THE OPERATOR AND PASSENGERS WERE TRANSPORTED TO BARTLETT MARINA. AT THE MARINA I SPOKE TO THE OPERATOR WHO INFORMED ME THAT HE WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON THE LAKE ALONG THE WEST SHOULDER. HE WAS TOWING A SKIER AT THE TIME AND WAS DISTRACTED BY HIS PASSENGERS WHEN HE RAN THE BOAT ONTO THE REEF.
