RedactedNarrative: On august 31, 2019, at approximately 11:30 am, a boating incident occurred on lake norman near perth rd., troutman, nc.  The vessel was a 24' 2008 premier grand majestic with a 115 hp yamaha outboard motor.  The operator was traveling east towards the bridge and noticed the clearance on the overhead bridge was not enough for the boat with the open canopy to pass through.  The operator tried to lower the canopy but had a difficult time putting it down.  The vessel hit the concrete pillar causing damages to the rails on the front port side of the boat.
