THE AIRCRAFT THEN BOUNCED TWICE, PRIOR TO A HEAVY NOSE DOWN CONTACT IN THE WATER CAUSING IMPACT DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FORWARD NOSE BULKHEAD.THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO TAXI THE AIRCRAFT BACK TO THEIR HOME DOCK.  THIS IS WHERE THE AIRCRAFT SANK IN APPROXIMATELY TWO FEET OF WATER .THE PILOT AND PASSENGER WERE UNINJURED AND THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE

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.
