RedactedNarrative: Operator told rescue workers that he was traveling and looked down in the boat and the next thing he knew he hit the shoreline going full throttle.  Both he and his passenger were injured and required medical attention.  The operator was eventually flown to Mayo for reconstructive eye surgery.
  
  Officers found that the boat struck the shoreline in a glancing blow to the port side of the hull.  It struck the rock shoreline and launched approximately 15 feet until striking the ground and skidded an additional 51 feet to where the boat stopped on land.  In total the transom was 65 feet on land from the rocks it struck on the shoreline.  
  
  The hull on the port side was crushed with a gash in the aluminum hull from striking the rocks.  The screws holding the console to the hull were pulled out and the console was loose.  The fiberglass on the left side of the drivers console was ripped from an impact and he steering wheel was bent forward.  Upon examination, GW found that the throttle was in neutral and the key was in the off position.  The master power switch on the dash was in the off position.  There was a significant amount of blood splatter and drops inside the boat with it concentrated in the driver's seat area.  The kill switch was intact allowing the motor to run indicating that it was not attached to the operator.  The screen on the Lowrance depth finder was broken.
