RedactedNarrative: V1 was anchored in Boca Lake and started taking on water. 
  
  I interviewed the owner of the vessel and he stated that he was operating the vessel offshore and felt one of the motors start to shutter. At this time he returned in the Boca Inlet and straight to the sandbar where he dropped anchor and the passengers exited the vessel and started to swim/float on rafts on the sandbar. At this time he noticed the vessel taking on water in the engine compartment. He also stated that he has been having problems with his VHF radio and didn’t hear anyone trying to make contact with him after he called for help. 
  
  SeaTow was able to pump most of the water out of the engine compartment and stabilize the vessel. SeaTow hipped towed the vessel to Freedom Marina on the Hillsboro Canal where it was able to safely removed from the water. 
  
  There were no injuries or damage done to the vessel other than water damage. 
  
  On 8/26/15 I spoke with operator and he advised that he received a verbal quote of around $30,000 worth of damage, due to both motors being fully submerged and the cause of the vessel taking on water was due to the deck drains being clogged or faulty.
