ESCAMBIA COUNTY -- After receiving reports that a 20-foot pontoon boat was possibly sinking at the Three Mile Bridge, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers took a boat out to investigate.
They found four adults fishing with water washing over the pontoons, according to FWC's weekly report.
When they questioned the operator about the boat's condition, the individual replied, "The boat was dragging a bit on the way out."
Officers escorted the boat back to shore. There, it was discovered that the owner had drilled holes below the waterline to drain water from the pontoons. The screws he used to plug the hole were apparently not water-tight, the report said.
