Owner of Vessel 1 stated in effect: I got a call from the marina that the boat sank. Used boat four days earlier and it was dry when I docked it for the day.

Investigation at scene revealed: V1 was docked at Captains Cove Marina, Highlands Baro, Monmonth County. Vl was facing a northerly direction at dock. VI became fully submerged at the dock with only a portion for the starboard side and bow exposed. Due to the submersion of V1 damage was sustained to the entire contents and mechanical within. There were no operators or victims on the vessel at the time of this incident.


 Investigation revealed that a water inlet hose had failed leaking water into the hull.  The bilge system was unable to keep up with the water intrusion and while V1 was unattended same sank. 

Vl owner hired Captain Cove Marina to pump out and remove Vl
