The investigator was on routine boating patrol leaving his slip at Alberta Creek Marina Dock B on 08.14.2010, when he noticed a vessel sunk ontop of its lift in Dock A.  He got all information from the owner at dock on 08.15.2010.  Operator of Vessel 1 said he was cruising at approximately 50 mph coming up on the no wake zone at Alberta Creek on 08.14.2010 when he heard a loud "bang" in the engine compartment.  He powered down and idled into his slip.  He thought he had twisted an outdrive.  He put the vessel in his slip but not on the lift.  He got into a different boat, went to eat and was notified of his boat sinking the following morning.  That information is not provided.  It was not known at the time the report was obtained, other than speculation by the operator that he may have twisted an outdrive.;
