RedactedNarrative: On December 2, 2023, I was on water patrol and heard a call over VHF channel 16 regarding a vessel taking on water in the Miami River. I responded and arrived within approximatly 10 minutes to find the vessel sunken near the mouth of the river. There were no injuries and the sunken vessel was recovered by Fast Response. 
  On December 28, 2023, I spoke to OP1 via phone to obtain more information about this incident. OP1 stated the following:
  •	The vessel has already been repaired and costed approximately $20,000 to repair. 
  •	The vessel sunk due to water intrusion from the engine bracket. 
  •	OP1 has over 100 hours of boating experience, including over 100 hours of experience on this vessel type.
