RedactedNarrative: Operator was fishing in a bass tournament and was returning for the 15:00 weigh-in at the State Park. V1 was on plane traveling southwest in open water when it came to an abrupt stop and a wave of water flooded V1. The Operator was able to lower the trolling motor and reach the shore before completely sinking.
  
  Upon inspection of V1, an area of fiberglass (2ft X 8in wide) was missing from the underside of V1 on the starboard side near the stern. V1 struck an unforeseen underwater object, possibly a log.
