RedactedNarrative: ON MONDAY MORNING JUNE 28TH JUST BEFORE 7AM, OPERATOR AND FRIENDS WERE HEADING OUT OF CAROLINA BEACH INLET IN A 17 FOOT SCOUT WHEN THEY FLIPPED BOW OVER STERN AND CAPSIZED EJECTING EVERYONE FROM THE VESSEL EXCEPT THE OPERATOR.  OPERATOR WAS OPERATING THE VESSEL AND BELIEVED THAT THE VESSEL WOULD CREST THE WAVE AND SETTLE BACK DOWN.  ONCE THE VESSEL CAPSIZED, OPERATOR WAS MOMENTARILY TRAPPED BENEATH THE VESSEL, EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET OUT FROM BENEATH THE VESSEL. THE VESSEL'S T-TOP AND CENTER CONSOLE WERE RIPPED OFF.  SEVERAL OF THE HATCHES WERE TORN FROM THE BOAT ALONG WITH THE PLATFORMS ATTACHED TO THE BACK OF THE TRANSOM.  THE OCCUPANTS WERE TRANSPORTED BACK TO THE CAROLINA BEACH ACCESS AREA AT SNOWS CUT AND THE VESSEL WAS SALVAGED BY SEA TOW.
