RedactedNarrative: The owner of the vessel stated he had just purchased the vessel and was taking it out for a maiden 
  voyage.  The vessel is a stern drive with two sticks  - one for direction, one for throttle.  He 
  was having trouble operating the boat and decided to bring the vessel back to the boat launch. He had come down 
  to no wake in the designated no wake area and when he was approximately ten feet from the east side 
  of the boat launch and by the northernmost corner.  The throttle was engaged and the vessel went up and over the 
  dock causing the cement dock tiles to slide back.  
  
  The vessel and the dock sustained significant damage. The vessel hull did not rupture and was 
  intact. The docks are managed by Kootenai County Parks & Waterways and they were notified.
