RedactedNarrative: On the afternoon of September 3rd, 2018 at approximately 17:30 hours, I, Game Warden First Class was contacted by the manager of Highland Marina Resort on West Point Lake concerning a rental pontoon boat that had returned with a large hole in it.  I advised Subject1 that I would be en route.  
  
  While I was en route to the Marina Subject1 called and stated that they were moving the boat to the boat ramp of Highland Marina to remove it from the water due to the vessel taking on a large amount of water and possibly sinking.
  
  I arrived at the location a short time later and located Subject1 with the vessel on a trailer in the parking lot at the boat ramp of Highland Marina.  Upon inspection of the vessel, I observed several large tears at the rear of the port side pontoon near the water line, damage to the rear deck corner, port side, where the corner cap had been torn off, and damage to the railing on the port side near the stern.  The damage was photographed and documented.  
  
  After leaving Subject1, I proceeded to interview the operator and occupants of the vessel who were waiting at the Highland Marina Office.  I began by interviewing the operator who said they were headed into the marina in a heavy rain when they may have gotten too close to the shoreline.  They looked back at some point and noticed a large amount of red cloudy water where it may have gotten to shallow.  After speaking with Operator, I interviewed the rental agreement holder who gave a similar statement about possibly getting into some shallow water while returning to the marina during the storm.  I proceeded to gather the contact information from the remaining individuals who were on the vessel at the time and still at the marina.  I advised Operator and the rentee that I would complete a boating incident report documenting the incident and that the report would be available by request.  I left Operator and rentee my business card with my contact information if they had any other questions or wanted to a copy of the report.  
  
  Due to the involvement of only one vessel and the unknown location of the incident, I cannot define what may have been hit or struck by the vessel.  I can state that damage was done to the vessel on the port side near the stern by striking an object of some kind.  
  
  Recorded on Vievu.
  
  Nothing further.
