The operator was driving his vessel in a northwest direction across the lake at about 2/3 throttle when it became extremely hard to see due to the solar glare on the lake. The operator stated that he very quickly, after being mostly blinded, saw a small rowboat in his line of travel. He avoided running over the top of the small vessel by throttling back and cutting the boat hard to port. The boat struck the bow of the rowboat with the starboard gunwale. The operator offered aid to the occupants of vessel two.
