The owner of Vsl #1 was a passenger on Vsl #1 and allowing a potential buyer to operate the boat.  While underway on the lake, the owner realized that Sunken Island was somewhere nearby and attempted to inform the operator of the possible hazard.  At that point, the boat made contact (grounded) with Sunken Island.  This caused damage to the propeller and lower unit of the inboard (outdrive) motor.  Subsequent events led to the boat being towed to the Higgins Lake South State Park where the damage was assessed.
