Rescue teams in central Florida are hunting for two friends who went missing amid gator-infested waters while driving a boat after a bachelor party over the weekend.

Charlie Jackson and Jason Cobb's empty 15-foot fishing boat was found listing among the shoreline reeds of Lake Jesup on Saturday afternoon, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

The keys were in the ignition, and two life jackets, two paddles and a handful of open beers were found aboard. "It doesn't look real good for them," Jackson's father, Bill Jackson, 55, told the newspaper. "I'm just facing reality."
