RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was traveling southbound on Carlyle Lake approximately 1/8 mile northeast of the Boulder Boat Ramp.  Vessel 1 was operating approximately 100 feet away from the shore at approximately 35-40 MPH.  In this area, there is a horizontal water intake pipe for the Salem Water District that the top of the pipe was sticking up approximately 6 inches out of the water.  The area is posted with small buoys, approximately 12-18 inches tall.  Upon striking the pipe with the lower bottom of the vessel, the vessel lost power and almost immediately began taking on water and began to sink.  No injuries were reported.
  
  Operator 1 had been drinking, and at the time of my arrival, he was continuing to drink beer.
