RedactedNarrative: The occupants of the vessel were engaged in a fishing tournament, and after departing from a location near Snider Rd., they began to travel in a south easterly direction.  According to the operator, he brought the vessel on plane and he was using an older model Lowrance unit to navigate to another location when he ran aground on a point in the lake in the vicinity of Deerlick Rd.  The operator stated that the navigation unit only showed images of Boone Lake at full pool and he thought he had open water ahead prior to running aground.  The operator also stated that the navigation unit indicated a speed of 41 miles per hour, and he did not see the point of exposed land prior to impact.  After running aground, the vessel came to rest approximately 35 yards from the water.
  
  The operator/owner of the vessel related to me at a later time that he took the vessel to Watsons Marine to obtain an estimate of the damage, and he found that the cost of repairing the fiberglass would exceed the value of the vessel.  Damage to the hull of the vessel showed extensive cracking in the fiberglass along the centerline and chimes, as well as around the drain hole where chunks of fiberglass were missing.  There was also damage to the propeller and skeg, and according to the operator/owner, there was damage to lower unit.
