RedactedNarrative: THIS ACCIDENT WENT UNREPORTED UNTIL A WEEK SUPPOSEDLY AFTER THE OCCURRENCE; BY THAT TIME THE OPERATOR (RENTER) HAD RETURNED HOME. THE RENTAL COMPANY MADE THE NOTIFICATION. OFFICER MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE OPERATOR OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS BUT WAS ONLY ABLE TO FINALLY MAKE CONTACT TO GET HIS STATEMENT AND INFORMATION LAST WEEK.  
  
  OPERATOR STATED HE DID NOT KNOW HIS EXACT LOCATION AND WASN'T SURE "WHERE" THE INCIDENT OCCURRED BECAUSE HE "NEVER FELT ANYTHING".  HE DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL HE NOTICED WATER IN THE FLOOR OF V1. UPON INSPECTION OF V1 AFTER THE FACT THERE WAS DAMAGE LOCATED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HULL NEAR THE STERN.  IT IS BELIEVED AT SOME POINT V1 STRUCK AN UNFORESEEN UNDERWATER HAZARD/OBJECT THAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE.
