RedactedNarrative: The operator of the vessel said that he and his companions had been conducting a sea trial to determine if the boat would be purchased by Subject. The seas began to get rough and winds picked up so they donned their life vests, ended their sea trial, and attempted to return to the ramp. 
  
  While heading in they ran into very shallow water, spraying mud with the motors and were forced to back down (put boat in reverse) to get back into the navigation channel. While backing down with no transom dive door in place (it had been lost earlier) a large volume of water began coming into the rear of the boat. As they made it back to the channel the rear of the boat began to go under. 
  
  At this time Subject2 gave the control of the helm to another occupant while he (Subject2) and the third occupant went to the front of the boat to try and keep the bow in the water (using their added weight up front). The bow continued to rise and then the boat rolled over from the force of the wind and waves. When the boat rolled Subject2 jumped overboard on the starboard (right) side, Subject jumped over from the stern (back), and Subject3 remained on board (managing to stay with the boat and crawl to the top of the overturned hull as the boat rolled over. Shortly after the boat rolled both Subject2 and Subject climbed onto the overturned hull to await rescue with Subject3.
  
  After a short time a Cedar Key volunteer Fire Department jet ski approached and picked up all three men. While transporting them to shore they ran aground (very low water, low tide conditions) and were forced to wait for assistance. This was approximately 1/4 mile offshore from the Cedar Key airport runway. Subject2 and Subject walked across the exposed mud flats and oyster bars to the runway. Subject3 remained with the jet ski because he did not have shoes at the time and would have sustained injury walking across the mud flat/oyster bars to make it to shore. Subject2  and Subject were taken in the Levy County EMS ambulance to the Cedar Key public offshore ramp where I met with them. Subject3 and the operator of the jet ski (after a short time) made it back to the runway where Subject3 was transported to my location to be interviewed and provide a witness statement.
