While making an approach to a 1,700-foot long dirt strip, situated between two crawfish ponds, the airplane's right main landing gear came in contact with a crawfish boat that had come onto the runway. After impact, the 13,767-hour pilot elected to return to his home base airfield, and during touchdown, the right main landing gear collapsed. The airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted.
Probable Cause: The pilot's delay in aborting the landing. A contributing factor included the entrance of a crawfish boat onto the airstrip.
