RedactedNarrative: On Sunday, March 27, 2016, at approximately 0830 hours, V-1 along with three passengers were traveling west on the Suwannee River/Alligator Pass in Levy County, Florida. V-1 was on plane and traveling at approximately 20-25 mph in what was believed to be the main channel of Alligator Pass. Several navigational markers within the channel were known to be missing. In the area where navigational marker # 11 was originally located, the vessel’s motor (lower unit) struck an underwater object causing damage to the motor, transom and hull. No one aboard was injured and no one aboard was wearing a PFD at the time of the accident.
