I was called out by dispatch on an overturned vessel at the south end of Willard Bay.  I responded with a seasonal employee to assist.  I was informed that the people on board were picked up by another vessel and taken to the south marina and that the vessel had went under the water.  The vessel had capsized in the storm.  I asked Willard Officer to respond by land to the south marina and make contact with the group.  I went by boat to the area and did a quick search for the boat before going to the marina.  I contacted OPERATOR at the boat ramp and got some basic information to do another search.  I informed him that due to the storm we may not be able to locate the vessel until the morning.  There were three other passengers on the vessel.  Operator had the youth picked up and gone when I had contacted him.  I was able to locate the vessel on my first pass and hook up to the bow that was not submerged.  I pulled the vessel to the south marina and assisted with loading it on the trailer.  I had taken Operators name, D.O.B,  address and phone number but he did not have his registration or drivers licence due to the boat going down.  I told him that I would follow up with him on the rest of the information so that I would not keep him in his wet cloths any longer.

I attempted to contact Operator multiple times without any success and thus was not able to fill in the remaining portions of the information.  I had ruled the vessel a total lose mainly due to the age of the vessel.
