RedactedNarrative: V1 was cruising when the pontoons split from the hull, taking on water and sinking the vessel.
  
   The vessel was loaded with camping gear and food and water for multiple days.  The vessel's stern was under water and the vessel was listing to stern very heavily.
  
  Sea Two came and retrieved the vessel.  I proceeded to Goodland Boat Ramp to meet with the owner.
  I arrived at Goodland Boat Ramp where I talked to the owner and operator of the vessel.
  
  He stated that he was simply driving his vessel at approximately 10-15 miles per hour when the vessel began sinking.  He called for help and was brought to the ramp by first responders.
  
  The wind and wave conditions, combined with the age of the vessel and the fact that the vessel was overloaded contributed to the hull failure which caused the pontoons to take on water.
  
  Sea Tow arrived at the ramp with the vessel and I observed where the aluminum joint cracked that attached the pontoon to the deck and kept the water out.
  
  He approximated that the vessel was worth $7000 and was a total loss.
