RedactedNarrative: 23 foot seafox strikes bottom of Cow Key Channel Bridge at a slow rate of speed. Vessel sustained damage to T-Top, Center Console, Leaning Post, and to the deck of vessel. No injuries. No damage to Cow Key Bridge.
  
  Operator stated to me that he was operating the vessel for subject. Operator continued to state that the vessel was rented by Subject from Spencer’s Boatyard. Operator stated that he operated the vessel for Subject to take him and his family out for fishing and snorkeling near Western Sambos Ecological Reserve. During their outing, Operator noticed the bilges were pumping water overboard excessively. Operator observed an excessive amount of water inside the bilge. Operator stated that he began to have difficulties controlling the vessel, and that he could not bring the vessel up to speed (on plane) due to the water intrusion. Operator decided to bring the vessel back to Spencer’s Boatyard, via Cow Key Channel, to save time and due to personal safety as the vessel was inundated with water. As Operator navigated the vessel under Cow Key Bridge, the T-Top struck the bottom of Cow Key Bridge, causing vessel damage.
