The boat was found about two nautical miles from Sea Hill Lighthouse on Curtis Island.
The incident happened about 7.20pm on December 27, and four people were on board the boat when it

The boy was trapped under the capsized boat for three minutes before being rescued.
Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
