On 10/8/2023 I was notified of a houseboat that had struck a kayak launch dock on Paintsville Lake. Upon arrival I was notified by operator the owner of the vessel that his 1978 Sumerset Cruiser houseboat was unloading from truck and trailer into Paintsville Lake. 

Upon being launched into the water the motor stopped working just inside the no wake buoys. Upon losing control of the vessel with no motor control the vessel was taken by wind into the shallow water causing it to collide with the kayak launch dock. 

He stated there was no damage to his vessel. The State Park staff stated the estimated damage to the kayak launch dock was $5,000 to fix structural damage and resetting of the dock
