No arrest in Winter Harbor boating hit-and-run

WOLFEBORO — Just shy of two weeks ago, a 50-foot SeaRay motorboat crashed into and heavily damaged both a large dock and the wooden boat tied to it in Winter Harbor.

The State Police press release that described this incident on Aug. 13, the day after the 11 p.m. crash, noted the New Hampshire towns where both the abandoned and pickup vessel are registered — Windham and Pelham, respectively — and that no injuries were reported.

Citing an ongoing investigation, State Police have declined to share any updates since and declined to allow photographs taken of the vessel.

The SeaRay was abandoned on rocks just past the dock where it crashed and the operator and passengers were picked up and fled the scene in a third vessel. Law enforcement located the pick-up boat docked at a Tuftonboro residence the following morning.

The SeaRay remains impounded at Silver Sands Marina in Gilford, donning a halo of yellow tape.

Marine Patrol is asking anyone who witnessed the crash or has additional details to contact Sgt. Nicholas Haroutunian at 603-227-2112 or Nicholas.M.Haroutunian@dos.nh.gov, or call State Police dispatch at 603-846-3333.
