RedactedNarrative: On September 2nd 2015 at approximately 1041 hours I received a report from Lake Mead Interagency Communication Center (LMICC) that 2 people were stranded on the shore line somewhere near Box Car Cove after their vessel sunk. As I was prepping a rescue vessel LMICC informed me that the 2 people had been picked up by another vessel operator and were transporting them to Boulder Harbor. I arrived at Boulder Harbor and waited for their arrival. 
  
  When they arrived I contacted the operator and owner of the vessel. He explained that they had left around 0600 and at 0630 about ¼ mile south of Box Car Cove he started to experience engine troubles. He stated that he believed the drive shaft came off of the propeller and punctured a hole in the haul of the vessel. The vessel began taking on water and sunk. He and the other member on board swam to shore. 
  
  OPERATOR stated his phone did not have service/working phone during the incident and waited on shore until they could flag down another vessel operator. 
  
  OPERATOR stated that he did not have insurance for the vessel and was going to try and self-salvage. I have been in contact with OPERATOR''s over the past month. He has informed me that he and a few friends have removed the vessel from the Lake.y
