RedactedNarrative: On 7-4-2016 at about 1345 hours, Operator#1 and four of his family members were cruising in his 1979 16-foot Rayson Craft speed boat. They were travelling upchannel while towing a floatation tube with another of his family members on it. They stopped to change the person on the tube with a passenger in the boat. Shortly after getting underway again, the operator, Operator#1, noticed a large amount of water in the back of his boat, so he came to a stop to try to bail some of the water. He also turned on the bildge pump but the water was now coming over the back of the boat. The boat sunk, with the bow about two feet out of the water. A passing boater stopped to render aid. MCSO deputies and Officers from the Arizona Department of Game and Fish responded.  There were no injuries found.  Officers from Arizona Game and Fish towed the boat to Bat Cave Cove where it sunk in approximately 22 feet of water.  
  
  Nothing Further.
