RedactedNarrative: 2003, 21' Northwest Jet Signature Series Open Motorboat w/360 hp Marine Power Inboard Engine
   
  On 04/02/2016, at about 02:03 p.m., this vessel was cruising on the Palouse River located near Starbuck, WA in Franklin county.  The Operator reported that he was traveling down river when his vessel's keel (pump intake) struck a submerged rock.  The impact reportedly caused the keel to collapse into the oil pan of the inboard engine.  The engine failed after loosing the engine oil causing the vessel to lose steering and power.
   
  The Operated reported the vessel then became "pinned" between two rocks.  The vessel began to swamp after the bilge pump could no longer keep up with the water entering the vessel.  The starboard side of the vessel went under water and rested in approximately five to six feet of water.
   
  Officers reported all three occupants showed signs of impairment with the Operator showing "extreme signs of impairment".  They all three reported they had began drinking after the collision.
