RedactedNarrative: On June 1, 2014 I, Officer, of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) responded to a vessel accident. I arrived on scene at approximately 11:50 am. 
  Once on scene I confirmed that all persons on board were accounted for and uninjured. There were two passengers on board, besides the oeprator. They were all identified by their Florida drivers license. 
  The occupants stated: 
  ? That operator just got the vessel 
  ? This was the third trip out on the vessel 
  ? They had been fishing for approximately 4 to 5 hours 
  ? They were moving to another spot when they heard a loud crack sound 
  ? The motor dropped down about 1 foot, and shut off 
  ? Water began to pour in the transom 
  ? They then they put life jackets on and called for help 
  Deputy of the Osceola County Sheriff?s Department Ag Unit (OCSO) was the first to arrive. Deputy gave the occupants a ride to the South Port boat ramp. The vessel drifted to the grass line where it stopped in shallow water. 
  The transom appeared to be rotted and unable to hold the weight of the motor, and therefore cracked on each side of the motor. Later that day with the help of friend?s, the owner of the vessel was able to remove the vessel from the water.
