Operator1 was driving the 18ft Skeeter Bass boat going upstream (south) on Kentucky Lake in Houston County, TN on 05/23/15 at approximately 4:30pm.  Operator1 said some of the previous fiberglass work on boats right(port) side feel off in the rough waters.  The boat began to take on water from that spot as well as from the waves crashing over the rear of the vessel.  Operator1 turned on bilge pump but it was not pumping water out quick enough. Operator1 then drove the boat to the bank just south of Cane Creek in Houston County, TN. The boat owners were both on board the vessel.  No persons were injured during this accident.
