Vessel 1, with two persons on board, was underway and returning for weigh-in at the launch ramp when the bow of Vessel 1 rose up on a wave, pushing the outboard motor under the water in the stern, in turn causing the motor to stall.  The Operator of Vessel 1 was unable to restart the motor.  By this point, the wind and wave action had turned Vessel 1 so that waves were now coming over the stern.  Vessel 1 quickly began filling with water and the bilge pump could not keep up.  The Operator and Passenger were then able to mount the trolling motor and operate the now mostly swamped vessel to Bayview Marina.
