RedactedNarrative: According to the operator and passenger, all at once they noticed water in the bottom of V1 and discovered that the drain plug had somehow become dislodged.  They were unable to get the plug back into V1. The passenger stood up to get his feet out of the water and due to the instability of V1 filling with water he fell overboard.  The operator managed to climb out onto a stump in the water.  Due to the flooded conditions, V1 sank and was taken away by the flood waters.  There were no injuries.
   
  As of this date: 01-11-16 V1 has still yet to be recovered again due to the severely flooded conditions and investigators have been unable to inspect V1 to confirm both the operator's and passenger's statements.  Even though the vessel's value is less than $2,000 it is being reported as a "complete disappearance" of the vessel within the 30 day reporting period; however the operator stated he will recover V1 when the flood waters recede.
