RedactedNarrative: On 8/5/18 I was notified of a reported rental boat that had been returned damaged to Deep Creek marina. The operator of the vessel was no longer on scene as the boat had been returned on 8/4/18. The damaged vessel was a 25 foot Tahoe Cascade Quad Lounger. The vessel had a 2 inch by two inch v shaped hole on the port side pontoon five feet from the stern above the water line. There was no other damage. The staff had informed the lessee of the boat when he turned it in of the damage. The damage was consistent with damage occurring when striking a dock.
  I interviewed the lessee by phone and he stated he was never struck while operating the vessel and that the vessel had been tied to a dock in Cherry Creek Cove all week when not in use and could have been struck while tied up. He was the sole operator and did not recall striking any docks. He stated he was prepared to cover the damages estimated at $8500 by Deep Creek Marina.
  There was no evidence of negligent operation and no charges were filed
