RedactedNarrative: On june 28, 2020 around 16:00, operator and his friends were out at cape lookout fishing from his 30'' pursuit vessel. On their way back to beaufort they decided to take the oceanside of shackleford banks. The vessel was cruising at around 25-30 mph when it impacted something in the water. The boat idled for a brief second then suddenly went on plane. Operator tried turning off the vessel by taking the key out but it kept going. 
  
  So he went into the center console of the boat and started pulling out the wires behind the throttle, eventually putting the boat to a halt. Once the boat was stopped he turned off the boat battery and started assessing the boat. Operator reported that there was a crack all the way around the hull of the boat and that the center console became loose upon impact. He also said that all the hatches and compartments had opened after they impacted what he thought was a submerged object. 
  
  Shortly after trying to assess the situation operator noticed electrical smoke coming from a hatch at the stern of the boat, so he grabbed all his fire extinguishers to try to put it out but it would not go out. After using 3 fire extinguishers on the smoke he and his passengers made the decision to abandon the vessel. 
  
  They quickly put on life vests and jumped out of the boat and swam to the shore of shackleford banks. The vessel quickly erupted into flames after that, burning down to the hull and washing up on the shore of shackleford banks. The coast guard arrived on scene shortly after and took the operator and all passengers back to shore. 
  
  One occupant was standing at the back of the boat, behind the operator, and hit his head on the center console of the boat upon impact and was taken to carteret general hospital where he received 6 stitches. The boat was completely destroyed, resulting in a $20,000 loss. A few days later, dead cow lane enterprises came and towed the vessel from the shackleford banks and it was later destroyed.
