At 8:55 P.M. on July 16, 2011 I state Game Warden received a call from Grayson Dispatch of a boat accident near Eisenhower Marina. I arrived on scene to find operator waiting near his vessel. operator advised me he had been operating his boat from the Denison Dam towards Eisenhower State Park. When he neared the State Park he noticed the boat was heavy in the rear end and water was beginning to come over the transom. He operated the boat towards the bank on the State Park near the fuel docks. operator was able to run the boat approximately three feet out of the water onto the bank and tie off the boat. The boat continued to take on water and those parts of the boat not out of the water sank. operator and his four passengers were able to safely get out of the boat and call for help. operator advised he and his passengers were wearing their pfd's.  I found a 20 foot Mariah jet boat with flame paint job bearing Texas registration numbers of TX 8857 WK tied off to the bank at the bow with the rear portion under water and approximately three feet of the bow out of the water and resting on the bank.
