RedactedNarrative: On 5/11/19 I made contact with subject who reported to this agency that his vessel struck something in the water resulting in significant damage earlier in the day.
  
  According to Subject he was operating his vessel northbound on the Intracoatal Waterway just south of the NE 79th St. bridge, with his 40 y/o/ sister, 8 y/o daughter, and 7 y/o nephew all seated directly in front of the vessel center console. Subject advised he felt two impacts just south of the NE 79th St. Bridge. He advised his vessel hull struck an unknown object first, then his outboard lower unit struck the object causing it to stall. None of the passengers were injured but the impact caused his motor to stall. Subject advised his motor started back up and he continued to his destination at Haulover Boat Ramp. While enroute he noticed his bilge pumps began discharging water from the vessel, at which time he instructed his passengers to put on personal floatation devices.
  
  He was able to return the vessel to the Haulover Boat Ramp and put it on the trailer, at which time he noticed a gash in the vessel keel with water pouring from it.
  
  Subject advised he has no idea what his vessel struck and did not see anything floating. he further advised that was operating within the marked ICW channel.
