RedactedNarrative: From my investigation and supporting facts, it appears V1 was traveling north adjacent to Opal Mountain Rd on Lake Mohave. At the time of travel Lake Mohave was experiencing high winds with gusts up to 50mph as well as rainfall. This turbulent weather created unsafe operating conditions on the water. Additionally, V1 had 8 persons on board with gear and full ballast tanks. Ultimately with the amount of weight inside the boat and the turbulent weather V1 began to take on water.
  
  The operator of V1 attempted to seek harbor within Opal Cove but while in the process both his engine and his electronics shutoff completely and would not turn back on. The operator was able to get V1 approximately 20'' from the shore and set his anchor. All the passengers abandoned V1 and swam to shore. National Park Service responded to assist and transport all passengers.
  
  The damage to V1 is estimated to be over $3500 but can vary all the way up to a total loss. Due to water possibly damaging upholstery, electrical components, gauges, engine components, and equipment.
