RedactedNarrative: Just before the incident, passenger #2 had pulled the anchor.  The rough conditions, 2-3' waves caused the vessel to turn parallel to the waves.  At this time the operator of the vessel attempted to start the engines when he realized they would not start.  The operator realized that the engine compartment had filled with water, causing the engines not to start.  The bilge pumps were overwhelmed causing the vessel to swamp and capsize.  The operator advised that he had checked the engine compartment approximately 15 minutes before the vessel swamped and it was dry. 
  
  The occupants of the vessel were rescued from the water by the USCG. The vessel was towed by South Shore Towing and place on a lift.  Upon examining the vessel out of the water, the molded swim platform had split in half at the seam of the top portion of the hull and the bottom of the hull allowing water to rush into the bilge of the vessel.
