RedactedNarrative: Based on my investigation, interviews, and my observations. I found that OP1 was operating his approximately 28-foot Grady-White V1, into Snake Creek when he came off plane and struck the green channel marker number one. The vessel owner deemed V1 to be a total loss due to the electronics, engine and all wiring being completely submerged. 
  
  OP1 provided a verbal and a written statement. He advised that he was returning from fishing right at dark. OP1 advised that he came off plane and his boat struck the channel marker and immediately the boat capsized. OP1 explained to me that he was able to get out and get on the bottom of the hull.
