RedactedNarrative: On July 2, 2022 a vessel occupied by two individuals was traveling downstream on Boone Lake. At approximately 22:35 the operator noticed he was in shallow water and slowed down. The operator attempted to turn and get to deeper water but the lower unit of the vessel struck a submerged rock island. The propellers and skeg struck the rock floor several more times while the operator attempted to leave the area, which caused damage to both propellers and the skeg.  *** 	
  
  On July 2nd, 2022 at 23:00 I was notified of a vessel that had struck a rock island and was stranded on Boone Lake just upstream of Rockingham Marina. I proceeded to the vessel by boat and was able to tow it to Rockingham Marina where it had been rented by the operator. 
  
  Operator stated he was traveling downstream towards Rockingham Marina at 15 mph when he noticed he was in shallow water. Operator stated he slowed to idle speed and attempted to turn and steer back to deeper water, but felt the lower unit strike a rock island under the water. Operator stated he was unable to move forward, so he put the vessel in reverse and tried to turn again. Operator stated he repeated this action several more times, striking the rocks each time until the motor shutoff. Operator then drifted against the shore until I arrived and towed him to Rockingham Marina. 
  
  Rockingham Marina lifted the boat the following morning and found no damage to the hull, but both propellers were bent and the skeg was damaged.
