RedactedNarrative: On June 11, 2022 at approximately 1730 hours, after engine failure, Vessel 1 was pushed into a rocky shore by wind and waves, causing significant damage to the hull of the vessel. 
  
  The owner/operator launched the vessel at West Shore State Park.  At the time the vessel was launched,  the water was choppy and there was a light breeze. The operator, and only occupant, started the main engine of the vessel and drove the vessel approximately 1/4 of a mile from the dock.  The engine then quit running and the operator was not able to get the engine started.  
  
  The wind and waves increased from the southeast and the boat drifted to the northwest, toward the shore.  The operator put on a type III  PFD.  The operator started the 8 HP trolling motor and attempted to use that to keep the boat from getting blown to the shore. The small trolling motor was unable to slow the boats movement toward the shore.  The vessel was pointing south and the waves slammed the lower unit and right rear (stern) portion of the vessel against the rocks on the shore. The operator was able to climb out of the vessel, on to the shore, uninjured.   
  
  The rear (stern) of the vessel got lodged onto a large rock and continued to get slammed against the rocks, causing damage to the right and left side of the rear (stern) and the center of the bottom of the vessel (keel). 
  
  The vessel was removed from the shore the next day by a tow company.
