## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) N1753R, A 1974 CESSNA 180 FLOAT EQUIPPED AIRPLANE RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF CONTACTING A SMALL ALUMINUM BOAT ON LAKE COEUR D'ALENE, IDAHO. THE AIRCRAFT WAS PILOTED BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ OWNER OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA^ STATED HE HAD LANDED HIS FIRST EQUIPPED AIRPLANE IN POWDERHORN BAY ON COEUR D'ALENE LAKE AND WAS ON A STEP TAXI TO HIS HANGAR LOCATED IN THE BAY. HE ALSO STATED HE HAD ONE BOAT IN SIGHT DURING THIS STEP TAXI BUT NEVER SAW THE BOAT HE COLLIDED WITH. THE ALUMINUM FISHING BOAT WAS DESTROYED AS A RESULT OF THE COLLISION, HOWEVER NO ONE WAS HURT AS A RESULT OF THE INCIDENT. AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORS FROM THE SPOKANE FSDO EXAMINED N1753R AND DETERMINED THAT THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE WAS AN INCIDENT. DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO THE FORWARD CHAMBER OF THE LEFT FLOAT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
