RedactedNarrative: I Game Warden for KDWPT, was dispatched to a vessel that almost sunk in Wilson Lake, which is located in Russell County, Kansas. I arrived at the middle Minooka boat ramp to find Operator standing on the boat ramp uninjured. The 1992 Skeeter boat was beached near the boat ramp on the beach and appeared to have a large amount of water in it. 
  
  I asked Operator what had happened and he told me that he was fishing on the west end of Wilson Lake and he noticed his bilge was running a little so he decided to return to the Hell creek ramp where he launched his boat. 
  
  While going across the lake on plane he said that all of a sudden the bow of his bow went high out of the water so he throttled down and when the boat leveled out there was water up to his ankles in the boat. he turned his boat towards shore and found the nearest spot to beach the boat. 
  
  I went down to the Boat and took pictures and also walked out to the boat where it was about half full of water and resting on the bottom. I took several pictures of the bottom of the boat which had a hole on the starboard side of the keel on the hull at the approximate centerline of the boat.. from the hole to the stern of the boat there was a large portion of rigid fiberglass missing with various widths. near the hole was small fractures in the fiberglass indicating that at some time the fiberglass came in contact with an object. I spoke with Operator and the Diver used to recover the boat and cleared the scene.
  
  Nothing Further to report at this time.
