On July 15, 2012 at approximately 1230 hours Operator was operating V-1 in the vicinity of Boynton Inlet.  V-1 was traveling east with 4 passengers, when it struck an underwater object.  No one was injured.  Later that day, Operator went back to the location where the underwater object was struck and recovered several pieces of his lower unit.  I estimated the damage to outboard engine at $3,000.
