RedactedNarrative: On 13 September at approximately 1530 hours a vessel participating in a fishing tournament was returning from the Virgin Basin. 
  
  Winds were at 15-20 mph with gusts to 25mph and wave heights ranged from 1.5 to 2.5 feet in the basin. Near Auxiliary point the owner/operator brought the boat to a stop in order to fix a large piece of the boats trim (trim that is used to fill the game between the hull and top deck) that was coming out. 
  
  While idling OPERATOR said that a couple waves came over the side and that his bildge pump was not working, the boat started to sit lower in the water causing more water to enter the boat. OPERATOR also reported that the inner layer of the trim was also loose. The passenger said that the engine started to fail and he told OPERATOR that they needed to get to shore fast before the boat sank.  OPERATOR said that he was not able to come up on "step" and they headed as fast as they could to the beach. 
  
  At approximately 1706 hours, after searching for the boat for approximately one hour, I saw the vessel sideways along the beach. The vessel was full of water and the occupants were uninjured and safe on shore. The occupants were transported to Callville Bay Low Water Launch ramp.
