RedactedNarrative: V1 was northbound in the Indian River when the operator noticed that the bilge was taking on water. He stopped the vessel to investigate. The vessel continued to take on water, including waves over the side, and capsized.
  
  On 3/4/18, at approximately 5:30 pm, Operator was traveling northbound in his vessel along with five other occupants. As they approached the 192 causeway, Operator noticed that the vessel felt sluggish and he believed they were taking on water. He stopped the vessel to investigate. He opened a stern hatch to the bilge area and noticed that the bilge pump was not working despite a large amount of water in the bilge. Operator also noticed a hole in the hull which was letting water into the bilge. Operator stated that he believes that he may have struck a rock earlier in the day, puncturing the hull.
  
  While stopped the vessel continued to take on water through the hull and waves began to come in over the gunwales. The vessel continued to take on water until it slowly capsized, coming to rest upside down on a sandbar (see attached photo).
  
  Operator and the occupants exited the vessel prior to it capsizing. They were recovered from the water by Melbourne Beach Police Department and taken to the Yellow Dog Cafe in Melbourne.
