RedactedNarrative: Vessel – 10’ Ouachita Aluminum Motorboat – Model/Year Unknown
  
  On 06/01/2018, at about 08:14 a.m., this vessel was drifting in the middle of Blackman’s Lake located near Snohomish, WA in Snohomish county.
  
  According to Law Enforcement, on this date at time, they responded to a report of 2 subjects who had fallen out of their boat at Blackman’s Lake located at 1432 Ave A, Snohomish WA, located in Snohomish county.  When Officers arrived at the boat launch, they observed a small blue aluminum boat overturned and partially submerged with 2 people in the water hanging onto some citizen’s small vessels that had gone out to help them.  Operator and Occupant were pulled to shore where they were seen by medical aid.
  
  Operator was transported by medical aid, with possible hypothermia, before Officers had a chance to speak to him.  Officers spoke to Occupant who told them that Operator had purchased this small boat about a week ago and the two of them had gone out fishing.  He indicated that Operator was operating the boat that had been equipped with a small electric trolling motor that was lost when the boat capsized.
  
  Occupant told Officers that they had caught a fish.  When Operator leaned over to get the fish the boat capsized causing them both to fall into the water and turning the boat upside down.  They had PFDs in the boat but did not have them on and were unable to retrieve them to put them on.  Operator had a hard time holding onto the boat and was soon going under until an unknown witness/citizen came to their rescue and brought them ashore.  Officers obtained Occupant’s information and left to go to the hospital to check on Operator.   
  
  The boat was brought to a nearby dock where Officers did an inspection.  The boat was not registered and had no HIN.  The only thing required for this vessel were two PFDs and a mechanical sound producing device.  There were two PFDs found but no mechanical sound producing device.  The vessel inspection was completed using SECTOR.
