RedactedNarrative: At the date and time listed above, the operator was operating his vessel near the West side of Cudjoe Key.  The vessel stuck and underwater object causing damage to the hull and starboard engine. 
  
  The operator was identified by his New Jersey driver license and stated that he was the owner/operator of the vessel.  He explained to me that he had been out fishing with his daughter and her baby sitter.  They were traveling through Cudjoe Basin to return to their home on Cudjoe Key.  He stated that he heard a loud noise as they were cruising, he looked back at the engines and the starboard motor was raised higher than the port motor.  The vessel began to take on water and he operated the boat toward shore and then called Tow Boat U.S.  They secured the vessel where it remained for the night.
