RedactedNarrative: ON 6/5/14 I DISPATCHED TO ANTELOPE POINT TO CONDUCT A REPORT AND INVESTIGATION ON AN ANTELOPE POINT MARINA RENTAL VESSEL THAT WAS DAMAGED. VESSELS BOW HAD A DAMAGED SECTION APPROX 4" BY 4" BELOW THE BOW BUMPER MOLDING. DAMAGED BOW SECTION PENETRATED THROUGH THE FIBERGLASS. VESSEL ALSO HAD A LARGE DAMAGED SECTION ON THE HULLS STARBOARD SIDE.FORWARD OF MID SHIP. THIS WAS APPROX 2' BY 1'. THE FIBERGLASS WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF. INSIDE THE FRONT STORAGE DEPARTMENT I FOUND VISUAL WATER DAMAGE INDICATED BY A DARK DISCOLORATION TO THE CARPET. THIS COMPARTMENT IS DIRECTLY ABOVE THE DAMAGED HULL. ACCORDING TO RECORDS IN/OUT FORM THE DAMAGED VESSEL WAS RENTED ON 6/4/14 AT 1027 AND WAS RETURNED AT 1700 HOURS ON SAME DAY. ACCORDING TO ANTELOPE POINT MARINA INCIDENT REPORT THE VESSEL WAS DAMAGED DURING FUELING. 
   
  THE REPORT STATED THAT THE FUEL DOCK EMPLOYEE TOLD THE OPERATOR HE HIT THE DOCK AND CHIPPED THE FRONT OF THE VESSEL. THIS INCIDENT REPORT WAS TAKEN ON 6/4 AT 1745 HOURS. THE FUEL RECEIPT SHOW A TIME OF 1809 HOURS. ON 6/5 THE VESSEL WAS TRAILER-ED. AT THIS POINT THE DAMAGE TO THE HULL WAS NOTICED BY AN EMPLOYEE. THE ESTIMATE OF THE REPAIRS BY THE MARINA WAS $525 FOR BOW REPAIR AND $2500 IN HULL REPAIR. I SPOKE TO THE RENTER OF THE WATERCRAFT ON 6/5/14 BY TELEPHONE. HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING WITH THE BOAT. HE RETURNED THE BOAT TO THE MARINA ON 6/4/14 AND HIS DAMAGE WAIVER DEPOSIT OF $515 WAS RETURNED. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE DAMAGE COULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED AFTER HE RETURNED THE VESSEL BECAUSE THE VESSEL WAS CLEARED BY THE RENTAL OFFICE AT CHECK IN. 
   
  MY INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT V1 STRUCK A HARD OBJECT WITH ITS HULLS STARBOARD SIDE AND BOW. I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE DAMAGE TO V1 OCCURRED DURING THE RENTAL PERIOD. OPERATOR DID NOT NOTIFY THE MARINA OF ANY DAMAGES THAT OCCURRED DURING HIS RENTAL TIME. ANTELOPE POINT MARINA DID NOT NOTIFY THE RENTER OF ANY DAMAGES DURING CHECK IN. OPERATOR RETURNED VESSEL AT 1700 HOURS ON 6/4/14 AND TO HIS UNDERSTANDING WAS CLEAR OF THE RENTAL AGREEMENT WITH ANTELOPE POINT MARINA.
