Reported aircraft: Cessna 172R — a different aircraft that carried the N156RA registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's lack of total experience in instrument flight, simulated instrument flight, and night flight resulting in the pilot becoming spatially disoriented, and subsequent in-flight collision with water. Contributing to the accident was the dark night with no visible horizon.
