RedactedNarrative: According to the operator, V1 was at anchor while they swam.  When they returned to V1 and attempted to start the motor, it would not start and sounded as if it was "under water".  When he lifted the engine hatch, to inspect the motors it in fact was submerged in water.  The operator began to bail water out of the boat with a bucket and turned on the bilge pump.  He was able to remove a majority of the water and get one engine to start.  He drove V1 to Rocky Branch Marina.  He was met by the Corps of Engineers Rangers who were able to tow him to the boat ramp.  Once V1 was loaded onto the trailer and out of the water, it was determined that the seals around the lower units were dry rotted and cracked which allowed water to enter the boat.
