RedactedNarrative: Driver #1 stated to the effect:
  
  "I increased the throttle to come up on plane when the jet clear outs came off and both motors turned off. I attempted to replace the jet clear outs and restart the motors but the vessel would not start. At this point I attempted to set the anchor to resolve the issue. While attempting to resolve the motor issue I noticed the anchor was not holding so I called Sea Tow. Sea Tow advised me to call my insurance company and they would dispatch Sea Tow. While we were awaiting Sea Tows arrival, the vessel drifted onto the rocky shore where Atlantic Highlands Police ordered us off the vessel."
  
  Investigation revealed:
  
  Vessel #1 lost propulsion and was adrift. Operator #1 attempted to anchor the vessel but was unsuccessful. In result, vessel #1 drifted aground where operator and passengers disembarked the vessel due to safety concerns. Vessel #1 sustained severe damage to the fiberglass due to the shoreline being rock. Sea Tow was not able to immediately remove the vessel due to increasing weather conditions and shallow draft. Vessel was removed on 4/18/2022 by Sea Tow to Atlantic Highlands Municipal Marina. No injuries were reported on scene.
