According to the operator he was traveling on Beaver Lake to Lost Bridge Marina from Rocky Branch Marina at approx. 06:30am.  The weather conditions were heavy fog with light to no wind.  The operator thought he was east of the Dam Site Island when he struck a small island to the west of Dam Site Island.  In a statement from the owner of C&J Sports (towed V1), V1 was beached approx. 30 feet up on shore and was stopped by some trees.  V1 was towed back into the water and then driven back to the Dam Site Lake Park where it was loaded onto it's trailer.  Upon inspection V1 sustained damage to the keel and rib lines from the bow to stern on the port side and to the port side approx. 1/4 way up the gunwall near the stern. The outdrive also sustained damage along with one of the motor mounts on the inboard motor.
