RedactedNarrative: Both occupants were sitting on top of the cuddy fishing when occupant 2 stepped down on to the deck and saw water in the cuddy cabin. Both subjects then went to the back of the boat and tried the bilge pump.  They discovered the pump either wasn't working or couldn't keep up and the boat started taking water over the transom.  The boats transom went completely under and rested on the bottom, both subjects jumped from the boat not knowing exactly how far it was going to sink.  A passerby picked up both occupants and transported them to Cheshire ramp.  The passerby who picked them up then pulled his vessel from the water and left the scene.
  
  On 8/14/16 I went to Johns Towing to get photos and more information off of the boat.  Representative#1 stated that when they pulled it from the water the drain plug was installed and tight.  He also said water came out of the hull from around the upper portion of the outdrive where it meets the haul. I could clearly see and photographed the area where someone had used clear silicone or caulk around the outdrive.
  
  as of 8/14/2016 I made another attempt to contact the operator to get damage estimates and the owners phone number.
