RedactedNarrative: On June 14, 2015, I, RFC with the Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division, received a complaint call from Army Corps of Engineers Ranger Amy Cobb in reference to a sunken boat near Old 41 Campround #3.  Cpl. and I responded to the boat incident by vessel.  We met with subject near the area of Blockhouse and located the vessel that was sunk.
  
  Cpl. let me out of the patrol vessel at Old 41 Campground #3, where I met with the operator of the vessel that had sunk.  The operator advised that he had borrowed the vessel to test drive to determine if he was going to buy the vessel from the owner.  Operator advised that he had the vessel, a white Caravelle, tied up to the shoreline.  He advised that he noticed it had taken on water this morning.  He attempted to remove the water and get it around to the boat ramp to load it up.  However, on the way to the boat ramp, the vessel began to sink.  Operator, with the assistance of other boaters, was able to get the sunken vessel back close to the shoreline at the campground.  At the time of our arrival, the vessel only had approximately two feet of the bow sticking up out of the water, the rest of the vessel was submerged. 
  
  Operator advised that he was going to attempt to pull the vessel into shallow water and use a sump pump to remove all the water from the vessel.  Then he was going to attempt to get the vessel to the boat ramp to load up.  I advised him that we would check back in with him later in the day to determine the status of the vessel.
  
  I checked the area at 1800 hours.  I was unable to locate the vessel in the area.  Operator had removed the vessel from the lake.
