Incident Details
A certificated commercial pilot reported that during a southeasterly takeoff run using the southeast water lane, the airplane's acceleration was slower than normal due to glassy water conditions. As the airplane neared the end of the water lane, just before becoming airborne, the pilot elected to abort the takeoff. After closing the throttle, the airplane remained on the step longer than anticipated, subsequently striking the lakeshore and a moored, unoccupied Cessna 185. The pilot stated there were no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
Aircraft and Pilot Information
The pilot held a commercial certificate. No other details about the aircraft (make, model, registration) were provided in the source. The accident involved a moored Cessna 185 that was unoccupied at the time.
Conditions
The water surface was described as glassy, which contributed to the reduced acceleration during the takeoff run. No other weather or time-of-day information was specified.
Outcome
The airplane struck the lakeshore and the moored Cessna 185. The source does not mention any injuries or fatalities. Damage details were not provided.
