That boat came with a removable splash board that should be installed between the transom and cockpit. I don't see it anywhere and assume it was left on the dock. The deck cover at the stern of the boat was also left open. If either one (preferably both) of these had been properly installed/secured, there wouldn't have been a problem. Neither of the people on the boat reacted to the water pouring into the hull until it was way too late. Blatant negligence and total incompetence. Moving the anchor to a stern cleat, or not deploying it at all, may have helped but the real issue was lack of preparation and situational awareness.

One of the first things I did when I bought my boat was to install a cleat on the transom in between the outboards, specifically for a situation like this. Happy to say I have never had to tie the anchor off that cleat in the ensuing 15 years; but every time we leave port, I’m glad it’s there…

The most incredible thing to me is that both simply ignored the water coming into the stern. But… then again the one trying to anchor looked caught off guard when the anchor failed to grab with the line near vertical. As soon as the first wave went over the stern the guy should have tried retrieving or simply feed line out as best he could. Also, as stated they should have tried getting the jet ski to reorient the boat

So it looks to me like it was an out going tide with the wave’s incoming. I that scenario if one was stronger then the other it all could be a moot point. Meaning the boat might never swing on anchor. Obviously the call would have been for the jet ski to bump the bow into the waves. Would a sea anchor possibly deployed amidships or aft helped?

Boston whalers don’t sink but Boston Whalers aren’t cheap, and they only come with Mercury engines. The cheapest Boston Whaler 28 footer costs $280,000 with engines and an anchor, and that’s it, it would be way more with options. The more expensive Boston Whaler center console, the 280 Vantage model, costs $330,000 with engines and nothing else.

Definitely had to have a hatch/decklid open or something and filled the hull up fast. Plus the transom splash guard was not present. That boat sank way to quick. Granted, boats cant take repeated waves over the transom, but the self bailers on the deck should have been able to keep up much longer than that if the hatch/decklid was closed and splash guard in place.

First mistake was having Mercury outboards. Not known for their dependability. Second mistake was not having enough line on board to make a reasonable tow line to give to the jetski, then having the jetski secure the line to the ski rather than trying to use their hand. The tide was obviously going out faster than the wind coming in, so I don’t know if they would have been able to keep their bow into the wind even if they had turned the vessel around.

Correct me if I’m wrong… My understanding is that when engine failure is experienced that the deployment of the anchor is a priority but that anchoring from the stern is never an option. But, in a crisis situation everything must be done to avoid peril even if the actions break the rules. These protocols are based upon boating courses that I haven’t taken in NYS and Florida. So, in this case deploying the anchor from the stern is the best option as opposed to drifting out of the inlet and into oncoming vessels. Technically the captain did the ‘correct’ thing in this instance but it was ‘wrong’. In my opinion, 20/20 hindsight concerning the missing transom board, open hatch and the failure to address the incoming water are accurate criticisms and addressing those issue prior to the failure might have prevented this sinking. (The captain/crew might have been looking for a fuel problem and neglected to dog the hatch properly) Personally, I opted not to purchase a 23’ center console from a reputable manufacturer because it had an open transom with a removable transom board and instead purchased a 23’ CC from another manufacturer but it has a full transom. For me, following seas are a hazard that I tried to minimize. Overall, this situation while unfortunate really provides a teachable experience.

With the outgoing tide they should have dropped anchor with it tied off in the stern. If the anchor wouldn't bite they might have been able to tie off a cooler from the stern to act as a sea anchor. That might have bought them some time to get a tow boat out to them.

Not having the splash boat at the back right before the transom, to stop the water from coming in. Secondly, knowing the splash board isn’t there, they shouldn’t have dropped the anchor. It was only a matter of time before the waves started to push the water over the transom.

A combination of being inexperienced and unprepared was their undoing,had they used the momentum of the waves to keep moving and the steering to try and avoid the rocks it would have got them away from the inlet and into calmer waters. In theory they could have used a boat hook or something to avoid any rocks but they didn’t seem that well organised.

Unless there were heavy winds and or the tide was slack they would have drifted in or out with the current. I think they were in fear that the waves would broad side them so they thought the anchoring would point them into the waves.

They would have been money ahead by not dropping anchor. The enemy they saw was the rocks. The engines will more than likely be a total loss. The hull by itself is likely salvageable.

@henrye718 changing fluid numerous times is easy, plugs are easy, clear water rinse, and pull and replace all electronics. The easy part has just been done. Several hours on the water performing sea trials. Nothing is plug and play. Let's assume labor is at $80 an hour. Conservatively, we are looking at 10 hours. I think 10 hours of labor is a gift. Repairing fiberglass is expensive. The boat owner is facing salvage costs rather than dewatering and towing it in. The one thing we can agree on is that he had a very bad day on the water.
