I was approaching the Steinaker dock when I noticed a person Subject bailing his boat with a five gallon bucket.  I ask him if he needed help and I could see he was having trouble keeping up with the water coming in over the back of the boat.  I had him give me a line to attach to my boat.  I also had him secure 2 lines to the dock .  Several waves starting coming over the back of the boat and Subject went up to get his trailer.  He came back because he had forgot his keys on the boat.  The water was coming in and sinking the back part of the boat by this time.  Subject then took his small motor off the back in hopes it would float better.  Several more waves came over the back of the boat and the big engine went totally underwater.  

At this point we secured the lines to the dock and Ranger boat and decided that the best thing to do undo the dock section and float the sinking boat over to the trailer.  The boat was almost totally underwater only the top of the cabin was above water.  I drove the Ranger boat with the sinking boat in the middle and the dock on the port side to his trailer.  
I was able to get his boat close enough to the trailer to get it on.  He was able to winch it up enough to drain some of the water.  He then tried to get it on the trailer better.  

The trailer was damaged by the weight of the sinking boat causing the boat to sit at an angle.

I got Subject information and he left the park.

I called Subject on July 25, 2011 to ask the name of his insurance company and he told me he didn't have insurance.  I informed him that any boat with a motor over 50hp. was required by law to have insurance in the State of Utah.

A citation was sent to Subject in the mail for no insurance.
