RedactedNarrative: On Saturday May 2, 2020 at approximately 1138 a vessel had structural failure causing severe damages.
  
  Vessel 1, a 29' center console boat was navigating out of Oregon Inlet with 4 people onboard.  While crossing the sand bar entering the Atlantic Ocean travelling approximately 10 mph, both outboard engines broke off with a large portion of the stern of the boat.  The vessel was pushed sideways by the waves and was taking on water both from the stern and over the port side from the waves.
    
  While attempting to take PFDS out of the storage compartment in the bow, one of the occupants was ejected from the vessel due to an oncoming wave.  USCG responded to the incident, retrieved all 4 occupants, and re-floated the vessel and transported it to Wanchese.  There were no injuries reported.
    
  The probable cause of this incident was structural failure where the twin engines were mounted off the back platform of the vessel.  The vessel had several other recent successful trips offshore and did not have any recent work performed on it.  Alcohol was not involved in this incident and PFDS were available and used by the occupants.
