Rented V1 struck a boat dock at 117 Lookout Point condominium complex while trying to dock.  V1 struck the dock hard enough to break boards on the dock and damaged the pilings going into the lake bed.  Manager of POA will be unable to get an exact cost of damage to the dock until the lake is drawn down in November.  V1 sustained heavy damage to the bow and starboard side.  Operator of V1 fled the scene and was not located until he ran aground in another part of the lake and damaged the prop of V1 and could not move.  V1 had to be towed back to the rental facility and the rental facility contacted the Garland County Sheriff's Office.
  
A non-marine patrol unit was dispatched and investigated as a property damage incident only and failed to notify the marine patrol unit; therefore it was several weeks before this error was caught and finally turned over to an appropriate investigator and worked as a boating accident.  Due to the delay/error no charges were able to be filed on the operator.
