RedactedNarrative: Operator had vessel 1 beached on the south side of Houseboat Island just west of the inlet into the Lost Lake area. Operator backed vessel 1 off the beach approx. 30 feet from shore and in approx. 4 feet of water. Operator claimed he knew that Victim 1 was going to board so he placed vessel 1 in neutral. Victim 1 attempted to board vessel 1 from the rear swim deck. Upon his attempt his right leg became impaled and caught between vessel 1's propellers. 
  
  Investigating trooper arrived on scene at approx. 1600 hours to observe Victim 1 still stuck between the propellers. While Investigator and Trooper were discussing options to safely free Victim 1, he managed to get his leg unstuck. Troopers and a bystander were able to hoist Victim 1 onto Investigator's vessel. Investigator immediately applied a tourniquet and transported Victim 1 to the Old Keystone ramp where he was transferred to EMSA for final transport to St. John. 
  
  Investigator went back to the scene and interviewed Operator and any other possible witnesses. None of the other people on scene actually saw the incident happen, but did confirm the location that Operator stated it took place. Operator had an odor of alcohol on his breath. Investigator asked Operator if he would blow into a PBT device and Operator said "yes". Operator tested .05 on the test and did not display any other clues to indicate intoxication.
  Note: Vessel 1 was either still in gear when Victim 1 came into contact with the props or the props were winding down still when he came into contact with them.
