RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated " We were coming in the inlet when the motor lost power and died. When that happened the bow dropped down and a wave came over the front. Once the first wave came in, they continued to splash over the bow until the boat completely swamped and turned over. We all went in the water and were rescued by beach patrol." 
       Investigation at the scene revealed that vessel #1 was west bound, entering the Absecon Inlet when same experienced engine failure. Due to the added weight of 3 POB riding in the bow seating area, a light chop and traveling against wind and tide, when the engine failed the bow dropped enough to take on water. After the initial wave came over the bow and added additional weight, each subsequent wave further swamped vessel #1 until the vessel overturned ejecting all 7 POB into the water.
       Atlantic City Beach Patrol responded and assisted all passengers of vessel #1 to shore.
       SeaTow responded, righted vessel #1, and towed same to the Brigantine Mun. Ramp.
       No injuries were reported or observed.
       It should be noted that all POB's personal items remained onboard when vessel #1 overturned (including identification, cell phones, and safety cert.)
