RedactedNarrative: Witness #1 stated to the effect of: We were on a sunset cruise in the Barnegat Bay in the area of Dock Outfitter's. We were waved down by some people on the pier. They said someone was in the water and asked if we could help. Seaside Heights Fire Chief jumped on our boat and we searched the area. We located the person just north of the pier. They were able to get him on the boat and they started 
  CPR. I relayed the man back to the dock. 
  
  Witness #2 stated to the effect of: We launched the boat at the ramp by Dock Outfitter's. He got the 
  boat up on plane and turned to the right and the boat jerked. The engine came off the back and Operator went into the water. The boat rolled over and I saw Operator holding on. I was by the ramp, so I started to walk to the end of the dock. As I got to the end of the dock, he started to swim. I kept yelling "come on you can make it". He started to struggle and he went under the water. 
  
  
  Witness #3 stated to the effect of: He was hanging onto the boat. I went to get something to throw to 
  him because he started to swim. When I got back he went under the water.
