Operator stated he was recreationally cruising along the south side of the main channel on the west end of Lovewell Reservoir, south of Pawnee Point boat ramp.  Operator said he did not observe any visible obstructions in front of him.  Operator said he collided with an unknown object which was below the water line.  Operator said he went out to the incident location a few days later.  Operator said the underwater obstruction he collided with was a concrete/rock pile, which was visible at that time above the water line.  Operator said that the bilge could not keep up with water entering the vessel as a result of the collision.  An occupant of the vessel used a bucket to keep up with water entering the vessel as they made their way to the Pawnee point boat ramp.  Operator said he believed the vessel sustained approximately $18,000 to $20,000 dollars in damages.
