RedactedNarrative: OPERATOR #1 STATED IN EFFECT: I was out crabbing and I ran out of gas. My friend came out and brought me gas to get going. I then was hanging out in the area of O Street in Seaside. As I was leaving to start heading home I throttled up. As the boat began to plane I noticed my daughters Penn State hat on the floor start to blow away. I bent down to grab the hat and when I stood up I blacked out. The last thing that I remember I was falling through the transom door, in between the motors, into the water. As I fell into the water my boat continued to travel north out of my eyesite. I was able to swim to shore on Pelican Island and flagged down a motorist to call 911 for help.
