Ranger contacted me from East Canyon and stated one of their concession boats was damaged and they needed a report on it. I went to East Canyon and took pictures of the boat.  They had taken it out of the water and on the trailer. The bow was very damaged with a large hole in the bow.  Much of the fiberglass was missing.  I drove down to the boat ramp and went over to the dock.  I went to the slip where the boat was tied off.  The boat was pulled in bow first on the dock with the Port side of the boat being tied off to two cleats on the dock.  The front cleat was broken off.  Upon closer observations you could see the break was very new.  The metal edges where it broke were still shiny from the break.  The dock on the bow of the boat had clear evidence of damage too.  The spot where two dock sections were connected by a large metal pin was worn.  The end of the pin had many spots were it was dented and the metal was shiny.  It was obvious that the bow had rubbed and bounced against the pin which created the hole in the boat.

 On the day the boat was damaged she was working.  I have a witness statement filled out from her.  She stated she went out in the morning and checked all the boats.  They were all tied off and there was no damage to the boat at that time.  During the day a very large storm came through which produced a lot of wind and waves.  Sometime during the wind storm the cleat broke loose and the boat was damaged.  This is a rental boat for East Canyon State Park Concessions.  It is owned by State Parks and insured through Risk Management.
