RedactedNarrative: On February 7, 2015 between the hours of 1930 and 2000 vessel one struck a dredge pipe as it was entering the Intercoastal Waterway causing the motor to be ripped from the vessel. Due to the time delay between the time of the accident and the investigation I am unable to find any violations for the cause of the accident. On February 26, 2015 I Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission received a call in reference to a vessel accident that happen on February 7, 2015. I called the complainant and made arrangement to meet with him on February 27, 2015. 
  
  On February 27, 2015 I meet with subject who told me that on Feburary 7, 2015 his brother took his vessel FL 2255 LA out to go fishing on the Indian River in Wabasso. Subject said that they launched his vessel from the Wabasso Boat Ramp off County Road 510. Subject said that they went under the 510 bridge and headed north on the river from County Road 510 to the Intercoastal Waterway (ICW). Subject said as they got to the channel of the ICW the vessel struck a dredge pipe and ripped the motor from the vessel. Subject said that the motor was only attached to the vessel by cables. Subject said that the dredge pipe was in the channel of the ICW and was not lit up. Subject said that he hit the pipe between the hours of 1930 and 2000 hours. Subject said that he had a friend come and tow his vessel back to the boat ramp that night. Subject said that he called and reported the accident to the United States Coast Guard on Feburary 8, 2015. Subject called the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission on Feburary 26, 2015. Subject said the damage to the motor of his vessel was over $2000.00. 
  
  During my investigation I went to the location of where Subject said he hit the dredge pipe. There was no dredge pipe visible in that location. I talked to Superintendent for Cavche Inc. the company that was doing the dredge work in that location. I asked Superintendent if there was any damage to any of his dredge pipe. Superintendent said that he did not know of any damage. Superintendent said that all his dredge pipe is submerged except where it comes off the Dredge and that part of the pipe is lighted properly. Due to the time delay between the time of the accident and my investigation, I am unable to find any violations.
