RedactedNarrative: On July 23rd, 2020, while on the waters of the State of Florida in Tampa Bay, Operator and his family were on their 19 foot Hurricane deck boat bearing registration North Carolina NC8898EN (V1). Operator and all other occupants stated that they saw a storm and the seas got rough. Operator stated he tried to head back to the boat ramp, but V1 started taking waves over the bow. The engine stalled which then made V1 turn its stern into the oncoming waves. V1 started taking on more water, which led them to make the decision to don life jackets (Personal Flotation Devices) and abandon the vessel before sinking. Operator was able to get his phone and call (911) to notify emergency services. FWC, USCG, and TowBoatU.S. responded and were able to recover all occupants from the water.  The submerged V1 was recovered by Capt. of TowBoatU.S, dewatered and brought into the boat ramp at E.G. Simmons Park in Ruskin, Fl.
