RedactedNarrative: On 05/13/2017, I Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), responded to a boating accident on West Lake Toho. There I met an individual who was the friend of the registered owner’s boat, that was submerged in West Lake Toho. FWC and Osceola County Sheriff’s Office towed the vessel to Big Toho Marina and the vessel was recovered. There were no injuries, damage, or charges. 
  
  Based on evidence and information gathered to date, the accident occurred due to holes located on the bottom of the hull. Operator had taken the his vessel to West Lake to test it on the water and throughout the day the boat had slowly filled with water towards the rear storage compartments. When Operator realized the water inside the vessel, it was too late to try to drive away because of the amount of weight from the water. The vessel submerged approximately 100 yards East of the mouth of Shingle Creek and Operator and occupant swam to the closest shoreline outside Shingle Creek.
