RedactedNarrative: On July 23, 2022, Operator left Callville Bay Marina, headed south toward Hemenway Harbor. The strong winds were coming from south east direction. Once Operator got to open water, he started taking waves over the bow of the boat. After further investigation, I, Game Warden, determined that while Operator was traveling across the rough waves, his boat began taking on water over the bow. The exhaust hose also partially detached, which could have been caused by the boat's impact on the water while traveling over the rough waves. When the exhaust hose became detached, everytime Operator gave the boat throttle, the engine sucked in water, filling the engine compartment. Operator's vessel was also equiped with lead weights to create a better wake as well as full ballast tanks, which contributed to creating a heavier stern on the vessel. Operator called the Marine 11 emergency channel on his radio and also flagged down a good summaritan. The good summaritan towed Operator to Callville Bay Marina. Operator's vessel capsized and sank at the entrance to the slip in the marina.
