RedactedNarrative: 07/07/2014 (Monday): At 0900 hours Monmouth Beach Station received a call from US Coast Guard Station Sandy Hook. They advised that earlier this date USCG Sector New York received a call from the outbound M/V Houston Express advising of a submerged vessel drifting at GPS coordinates 40 26.9N 073 39.8’W. USCG Station Sandy Hook responded to that location in Ambrose Anchorage. Also on scene were the FDNY and NYPD. NYPD divers were deployed and identified the vessel as a white Grady White cuddy cabin with an outboard engine bearing NJ registration. The divers also confirmed that no persons were on board. The USCG needed assistance in locating the registered owner. NJSP databases revealed this registration to be “No Record Found”. I contacted the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission to broaden the search with negative results. The NJSP CAD was reviewed from all marine stations to find any involvement with the vessel. All proved negative. I advised USCG Station Sandy Hook of the registration status and requested that divers cross reference the vessel’s registration number on the other side of the hull. They were unable to. USCG Sector New York dispatched The US Army Corps of Engineers from Caven Point, NJ, to remove the vessel as it posed a hazard to navigation. At around 1230 hours USCG Station Sandy Hook contacted Monmouth Station advising that the vessel was involved in an incident yesterday, July 6th (Sunday) that required the response from USCG Station Manasquan. 
  The vessel owner was identified as Owner. The contact number given was a cell phone that became damaged in the incident and currently inoperable. An email address was provided and an attempt to make contact with Owner was pending. With the vessel owner identified the US Army Corps of Engineers will not be responding. A NJMVC inquiry revealed Owner’s vessel registration to be NJ780FA. At 1600 hours I spoke with Owner. He stated he and his friends, were fishing off shore when they decided to stop for the day because the ocean was getting rough. He began traveling south and was approximately one (1) mile off the coast of Deal Borough when his boat stalled. While troubleshooting the problem he also noticed the bilge pump was not working. He threw out the anchor and called Sea Tow. While waiting waves began coming over the bow of the boat and water began accumulating inside. Sea Tow responded and put him into a tow. During the tow more waves came over the bow to the point the boat listed to the side. 
  Occupant1 was able to jump into the Sea Tow boat. Water came over the gunnel and completely filled the boat. He and Occupant2 jumped in the water but remained with the boat until the Coast Guard arrived to rescue them. Once rescued they were transported to USCG Station Shark River. Occupant2 was taken to the hospital for exposure and accompanied by his son, Occupant1 Owner added that he went back out with Sea Tow to find his boat. They went up to Sandy Hook but were unable to find it. The sea conditions were too rough to see. Investigation Pending…
