V1 was anchored at mashta flats located near key biscayne. V1 operator noticed the v1 sinking, he turned the bilge pump on and saw that it was working. Operator  and the (6) other occupants boarded v1 and accelerated in an attempt to drain the water. The vessel took on more water and eventually capsizing and rolling over leaving everyone in the water. A good sam vessel arrived and rescued the operator and the other occupants until law enforcement arrived.  

Due to the low transom design of v1, together with the constant wake caused by heavy vessel traffic in the area, v1 took on lots of water and overwhelmed the bilge pump. The added weight of the passangers and the amount of water that was not flowing out, the vessel capsized.
