RedactedNarrative: V1 took on water and capsized 
  
  At approximately 2307 i received information of an overturned vessel near Big Pine Shoal from FWC dispatch. Dispatch advised that the vessel was overturned and the four occupants were inbound to sunshine key on a good samaritans vessel. 
  I contacted the owner/operator of the vessel and the three occupants at the Big Pine Fishing lodge where they were staying. The occupants advised the vessel started to take on water while they were at anchor fishing. They then started the vessels engine and attempted to get underway to let the water flow out the back through the scuppers. According to the statement the anchor was still out at this time and it got caught in the propeller. They then cut the anchor line and proceeded to motor toward a near by vessel then got on board the vessel. They then let their vessel adrift due to the amount of water in the hull. 
  At 0128 Tow Boat advised he found the vessel and it was capsized. He then righted the vessel and towed it back to a dock on big pine 
  The occupants also advised all four individuals and a large cooler were on the stern when they noticed the water flooding the deck. When i photographed the vessel on the 12th the tow boat captain and i were standing on the stern and water was flowing in through the scuppers onto the deck then into the hull via the edges of the closed bilge access hatch. I did not test the bilge pumps due to the batteries being disconnected by the tow boat captain. He advised he did this due to smoke coming from the console.
