RedactedNarrative: Vessel took on water and sank.
  
  Operator was operating his vessel towards nine mile reef from Ponce inlet. He explained that the vessel became sluggish. He opened the hatch to the bilge and noticed it was full of water. He described the vessel taking on water very rapidly to where the bilge pump could not keep up with discharging the water. He said the vessel began to sink. A good Samaritan was able to get him off of his vessel. The vessel completely sank. The Coast Guard responded and gathered information. The Coast Guard again responded on November 7, 2017 to see if any oil or fuel sheen was present. No sheen was observed, and the vessel was unable to be located by sonar. Operator and a friend returned to the area where his vessel sank and they were unable to locate the vessel.
