On 10-3-2011 operator contacted me about this accident.  I told him we would be in touch to get a report done.  He filled out an owner operator report and this where the information comes from for this report.

operator told me that he was cruising in the Rabbit Gulch area of Starvation Reservoir at about 1900 hours on 10-3-2011.  There were two other people on board with him.  He was going toward the sun (West) and hit a rock outcropping that was slightly submerged.  He was unable to see the rock because of the sun.  The collision caused extensive damage to the underside fiberglass of the vessel and also ripped off the drive assembly from the transom  (see attached photos).  Estimated damage is $7,000.  Nobody was injured during the collision.
