RedactedNarrative: Upon arrival at the scene, V1 was pulled up on the shore completely filled with water and the operator was bailing water out with a bucket. V1's operator advised they were stopped and exchanging skiers when another vessel passed by approximately 50 to 75 feet off his bow.  The passing vessel's wake breached V1's free board causing it to swamp.  
  
  The passing vessel (V2) was described as a wake boat, white in color with a blue stripe down the side and no visible registration numbers. A search for V2 was conducted but no vessel matching the description was ever located. 
  
  Upon further inspection of V1 it was noted that the vessel was over horsepowered and most likely exceeded its weight capacity. V1 was originally equipped with an 185hp motor, within the USCG's capacity plate maximum rating of 198hp; however V1 currently contains an after-market OMC 351 Windsor 250hp motor that weighed approximately 550lbs. Weights of all the passengers totaled approximately 748lbs. The total weight capacity for gear and persons according to the plate is 1300lbs. It is unknown the other "gear" weight (wake boards, ropes, PFDs, etc.) that was on board during the accident.  However given the fact that it was over horsepowered it was most likely over the weight capacity also thus the reason V1 swamped.
