RedactedNarrative: On the above stated date and time I was contacted by Operator 1 via telephone. Operator 1 stated that the week prior, on 7/16/2022 he had been boating on Canyon Ferry Resevoir and had struck a submerged rock that was only approximately 6 inches under the surface of the water. Operator 1 stated that he was traveling at trolling speeds and made an approximate guess of 5 MPH. Operator 1 stated that the striking of the rock caused his vessel to become high centered and that he had to exit the vessel and push it off of the rock to continue operating it. Operator 1 stated that he immediately returned to shore and trailered his boat to assess the damage that had been caused. Operator 1 then called MHP to report the possible water hazard but did not wish to make a boating accident report at the time of his initial call but after assessing the damage he now wished to make a report.
  
  I responded to he Silos campground in Townsend where Operator 1 was a camp site host to assess the damage of his boat. I observed the boat to have a bent metal seal on the center of the hull near the bow of the boat. I also observed a large cratered dent on the part side near the stern that was approximately 18 inches long and 10 inches wide and several other smaller dents along the stern.
  
  Operator 1 contacted this Warden again on 7/26/2022 and stated that he had the boat inspected by Townsend Marine and that the boat was going to be totaled out due to the location of the damage and a few leaks that were caused by the collision. Operator 1 stated that he planed to make an insurance claim due to the damage being estimated at $53,000.00 or more.
  
  There were no witnesses identified to this accident and based on the damage and Operator 1's statements I have concluded that there were no negligent or unsafe operations. 
   
  I have nothing further to report at this time, any additional information will be added in supplemental form at a later date.
