If he was sober, and everything was perfectly legal, ie: registrations, license, etc, he did himself an injustice of waiting to report it IMHO.

Exactly.

I can think of only one reason someone would leave an accident with a vessel in that orientation.

It's not like he struck a boat moored close to his dock and just tied up to check things out in the morning--his boat was doing a wheelie on a breakwater!

I don't know. I think if that happened to me, and I knew the neighbor, I would probably not do anything about it until the morning (presuming no injuries to passengers, no leaking fluids, etc.). Not to try and hide anything, but wouldn't want to deal with the pain-in-the-ass-ness of it late at night.

Three dock posts took some of the "crunch" out of the collision.

Some of the boulders appear to have been displaced as well. (Unless the builder deliberately placed them on the end of the dock).

A lot of "white" appears on the boulders most affected by the crash.

Well, Any word if he was Drunk or not?

Has anyone heard what really happened here? Been quite some time and not much info on this. Kinda like sweeping it under the rug.

Nobody injured, little or no property damage, except to the boat, which may not be much. Perhaps "Conduct after an accident"? Not much else to "sweep under the rug". I expect there are numerous incidents around the lake that MP responds to, but require minimal action. This one had the most dramatic picture, however.
