RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 launched at Alabama Ramp in Lorain.  They were fishing in a tournament.  They drift fished for some time.  The vessel was facing an easterly direction.  They estimated the waves were 3-4 feet high and out of the west.  Vessel 1 had a deep cutout in the transom for the motor.  A large unexpected wave came through the cutout and flooded the interior of Vessel 1.  The Operator tried unsuccessfully to start the motor.  The Operator grabbed the marine radio and called, “Mayday, mayday, mayday!”  Occupants 2, 3, and 4 went to the bow to offset the sudden change.  The vessel then capsized.
  
  Occupants 2, 3, and 4 climbed on the bow.  The Operator got out by going through the Bimini.  They stood on the rail, and Occupant 2 yelled for help.  A second vessel heard the yelling and rescued them in approximately two minutes.  A third vessel also responded and called the Coast Guard.  The Coast Guard also responded.
  
  They were brought to the Alabama Ramp in Lorain.  The Operator used Occupant 2’s phone and called Tow Boat US.  They sent a boat from Sandusky who brought in the vessel to the Alabama Ramp.  There it was placed on its trailer and removed from the water.
