   spoke with subject on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2017.  The boat had been re floated and moved to a dock at the Garson Point Boat Ramp.  It should be noted that the boat originally had two inboard engines and it is now powered by an outboard engine.  He said that when the boat was dewatered that he found that the propeller shaft through holes had been filled with caulk.  He said that one of the plugs of caulk came out allowing the boat to flood.  He said that he also found that the exhaust stacks were cut off and capped with plastic caps that were secured with tape.  He said that during the dewatering process one of the caps came off and began additional flooding which he was able to stop.
