RedactedNarrative: Subject, along with his Son and Grandson had been intentionally beached on the side of the ICW around Holden Beach during the day for some time. Around 16:00, Subject and his passengers left the beach to head toward home. While maneuvering off of the beach Subject was met by two large boats who seemed to be racing. Due to the speed of the two boats a large wake was thrown in Subjects direction which consequently swamped his vessel and prompted Subjects vessel to sink. After Subject''s Boat sank, Oyster beds along with wake and waves began to cut gashes in the side of the vessel, flooded the outboard motor, and broke the throttle control. 
  
  After speaking with Subject, I feel that Subject''s boat had taken on water prior to leaving the beach thus making the vessel sit lower in the water. When the two unidentified vessels come racing past Subject their wake easily swamped Subjects vessel due to its sitting much lower in the water and the other boats excessive speed producing a larger than normal wake.
  
  After inspecting Subject''s vessel for damage, we found the fiberglass hull had been cut multiple time by the Oyster beds, the Motor had been flooded with water, and the throttle control had been broke.
