RedactedNarrative: On 10/17/14, I Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), received a phone call from Operator in reference to a boating accident from days prior. At approximately 1715 hours, I met with Operator, at Ark Marine off Industrial Blvd to assess damage to his vessel, Florida vessel FL4217JY. I asked Operator to give me a recap of the boating accident. He advised me that on 10/13/14, he was offshore just north of the St Lucie Inlet approximately 150 yards east of the Stuart Rocks. At approximately 1330 hours, his vessel lost power and begun to drift west onto the rocks. Operator attempted to drop anchor but was unable to. His vessel continued to drift and beached itself onto the shore of the Stuart Rocks. Seatow responded and pulled FL4217JY off of the Stuart Rocks and towed the vessel back inshore.
      Upon assessment of the damage to FL4217JY, I observed 3 patch holes on the port side of the vessel and 3 patch holes underneath the vessel. The damage was already in the process of repair at the time of inspection. I also observed scratch marks along and underneath the port side of the vessel. The damage was assessed at $2,500.
