His shenanigans landed him in hot water.

A Queens driver fleeing the scene of an accident ended up crashing into a boat in the Hawtree Basin after he lost control of his van, police said.

The unidentified man, who was driving a van for the Queensboro Adult Day Care, sideswiped another vehicle while he was cruising east bound on the Belt Parkway, police said.

His jaunt came to a startling end when he plowed through a fence on Russell Street in Howard Beach at about 8:50 a.m. and landed on top of a boat moored near 102nd Street.

“What a way to start the morning,” fumed Frank Argento, the owner of the 1986 Wellcraft. “My boat is probably gone. This is a little take in the back.”

The shaken driver was hanging from the pier, when responding police pulled him out to safety at 9:00 a.m. He was taken to Jamaica Hospital in stable condition. No immediate charges were filed and the driver did not appear to be intoxicated, police said.
