RedactedNarrative: Two men were boating in the area of Clearwater Pass when his vessel's engine cut out.  He wasn't sure if it was due to mechanical failure or loss of fuel.  He notified vessel tow assets for which he was a member.  He then put out the vessel's anchor.  Due to Gulf conditions, the anchor dragged.  As the wind and waves pushed the vessel towards the rocks on shore, one notified the Coast Guard.  
  
  Coast Guard, Clearwater PD and the Fire Department responded. The men were able to exit the vessel onto the rocks.  EMS responded by land and both parties refused treatment.  Clearwater PD took a photo of the vessel at the time of the rescue (See Attached Photo).
  
  The capsizing and submerging of the vessel caused its electrical systems to be completely submerged in salt water.  Additionally, the vessel's trolling motor and outboard motor were completely submerged.  The vessel was battered by the surf against the rocks for approximately 24 hours causing substantial structural and fiberglass damage.  As a result, this vessel and its components are a total loss.  One of the men estimated the cost of the vessel, together with its components, to be approximately $25,000.
