RedactedNarrative: On March 24 2016 at 14:53 I responded to a sinking vessel on Watauga Lake. Upon my arrival the operator informed me that he noticed water in the floor of his vessel. Owner attempted to turn on the bilge pump but it did not come on. Owner was able to get the flooding vessel tied to a tree on the northside of Watauga Lake. Two subjects were able to get on shore and were picked up by a passing fishermen. On March 25 Lakeshore Marina was able to pump the water out of the vessel and return it to Owner''s boat trailer. Upon inspection of the vessel a 1.5 inch by 1/8 inch hole was discovered on the underside of the vessel beneath the operators seat. Lakeshore Marina gave an estimated repair quote to Owner of $2524.25.
