Operator and owner of vessel stated that he was cruising approximately 30 knots and following the track lines on his GPS when he ran aground. He also stated that he had not had anything to drink prior to the accident, but had consumed an alcoholic beverage after the accident. 
 
The bow of the boat landed 175' from the shore line. The vessel traveled through several trees prior to coming to rest 30' from a pole barn and 36' from a propane pig. The damage on some of the trees seemed to indicate that the boat was airborne for a portion of the distance after it came out of the water.
 
Demmer had 3-4 broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung. A blood draw was ordered by the ER Doctor to check alcohol level which registered .21.
