Read the full NTSB narrative
THE ACFT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED WHEN IT WAS RAMMED BY A SPEED BOAT AFTER IT HAD LANDED ON A CANAL AND WAS WATER TAXIING TO ITS TIE DOWN AREA. THE BOAT CAME OUT OF A CROSSING CANAL AT HIGH SPEED AND STRUCK THE AMPHIB IN THE AREA OF THE LEFT FLOAT. THE BOAT OPERATOR STATED THAT HE EXITED THE CANAL AT HIGH SPEED IN ORDER TO CLEAR SOME SHALLOW WATER AND THAT HE DID NOT SEE THE ACFT DUE TO TREES EXTENDING INTO THE MAIN CANAL.
