Operator and Passenger where on the water, on Operator boat with registration of KA403TP, of Wilson State Fishing Lake, on 6/19/2013 at approximately 14:00 hours, when a storm started to approach the area.   Operator drove his boat to the east boat ramp to remove his boat from the water.  When Operator reached the boat ramp, it was reportedly occupied by blue and silver truck with Kansas tag.  The owner of said truck told Operator he was unable to start his vehicle to clear the ramp for Operator.  Operator then proceeded to the handicap fishing dock, approximately 200 feet northeast of the boat ramp and tied the starboard, bow of his boat to the dock, with the boat facing east north east.  Shortly after docking his boat, a strong storm moved through the area producing winds up to 47 mph causing waves 6” to 2'' and over 2” of rain.  Operator reported that while tied to the dock, the waves washed over the stern of his boat, filling the boat and its compartments with water causing the boat to sink.  Operator then called the Wilson County Sheriff Office and reported the accident.  NRO arrived and started the boat accident investigation.  NRO witnessed the mostly submerged boat tied to the dock and interviewed Operator and Passenger about the accident.  The boat was pulled to shore with a wrecker and the water was pumped out of the hull.  Operator was able to then float the boat to the boat ramp, load it onto a boat trailer and remove it from the lake at approximately 15:44 hours.
