Vessel 1 was in operation when the Occupants observed that the stern of Vessel 1 was beginning to ride lower in the water.  At this time Vessel 1 was trolling using a 15 horsepower engine.  Two of the Occupants on board went to the bow of Vessel 1 to try to displace the weight on the vessel; at the same time the Operator tried to start the 225 horsepower engine on Vessel 1 but was unsuccessful due to an electrical failure.  At this point an Occupant aboard Vessel 1 shot a flare into the air and used a cell phone to call for assistance.  Another boater in the area came to the aid of Vessel 1, taking all of Vessel 1's Occupants aboard the assisting vessel before Vessel 1 "turtled" in the water (capsized).
