RedactedNarrative: Vessel #1 was fishing by trolling.  The 8 HP motor was in use.  It was traveling the same direction and slower than the waves.  A wave came over the transom and stalled out the motor.  Before either motor could be started, the next wave turned the boat sideways and the fishing lines became tangled in the larger motor.  Additional waves flooded the boat.  The operator called for help on the marine radio.  Additional waves capsized the vessel throwing the occupants into the water.
  Occupant #2 was able to get on the overturned bow. The operator held onto the side of the boat.  They were able to use a phone to call again for help.
  Coast Guard Station Fairport responded and rescued them.  They were taken to Mentor Lagoons where they met an ambulance.  The operator was warmed in the ambulance.  They refused further treatment.
  The operator contacted Mentor Salvage to retrieve the vessel.  They were unable to locate it.  As of the date of this report the vessel's location remains unknown.
  The owner/operator stated he purchased the vessel last year and had it on smaller lakes.  he said it was the first time he had it on Lake Erie.
