RANGER'S ACTION
I was notified by a seasonal employee that was working by the boat ramp about a vessel that was sinking in the east arm of the reservoir.  The vessel owner was on the boat ramp when I arrived.   His passenger and son left the park before I could obtain a statement.  Everybody was safely off the vessel and the boat was beached in the east arm.  I gathered up a pump and 2A85, the owner and myself went to retrieve the vessel.  The boat's stern end was completely submerged in the water which included the engine compartment.  We pumped out the water over the next hour.  After most of the water was removed we completely a side tow back to the main ramp were we placed OPERATOR'S vessel on his trailer.

STATEMENTS
I took a verbal statement from OPERATOR on the ramp and then received a statement later over the phone from SUBJECT.  SUBJECT was surfing off of the vessel at the time of the accident.  OPERATOR stated that he was heading west along the south shore line in the east arm when he started looking for another flavor of power bar and became distracted for several seconds maybe up to ten when he hit a submerged rock close to shore.  Subject’s stated that they were kind of close to the steep shore on his left side.  He did not see the impact but realized something was wrong when the boat slowed completely down and he looked up from the wave was surfing.  He stated the boat hit the shore and went up the bank and came back down again.  He was thrown to the left and received a puncture wound to his right foot.  Did not seek treatment at this time.
