RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1, Florida registered vessel FL2680PV, was traveling southeast in the ICW 1/8 mile north of Hershel King Boat Ramp. Vessel 1 was operated by OP1. Vessel 1 was occupied by PAX 1.
   At approximately 12:00pm, Vessel 1 collided with submerged objects, later identified as a palm tree and rock. No one onboard sustained injuries.
  OP1 stated he was going south in Vessel 1, just north of the Hershel King boat ramp. OP1 stated he was doing about 10MPH.  He stated he did not see anything on top of the water, and that he collided with submerged objects, causing the engine compartment to start taking on water. OP1 stated the boat began to sink but he was in approximately 3 feet of water.  Tow Boat US responded and was able to patch the hull and get the vessel afloat. 
  Upon inspection to the damage sustained to Vessel 1, I observed impact damage to the hull near the stern and the prop shaft of the engine. I observed wood chipping from the Palm Tree and scratch marks from the rock on the hull.
