There are provisions and requirements for reporting accidents with personal injury or property damage above a certain amount. I'm not sure if this is federal or state. I would imagine hitting bottom could be classified as an "accident".
Quote:
Federal law requires the operator – or owner, if the operator is deceased or unable to make the report – to file a boating accident report with the State reporting authority when, as a result of an occurrence that involves a boat or its equipment:- A person dies
- A person disappears from the vessel under circumstances that indicate death or injury
- A person is injured and requires medical treatment beyond first aid
- Damage to vessels and other property totals $2,000 (lower amounts in some states and territories) or more
- The boat is destroyed.
