The outboard "jumped a wake" landed hard, threw a girl out, stalled and then swamped...in 3 seconds. the wake he crossed was a flat bottom, the flatty owner also owns the lil red o/b too. thats the way it was explained to me on sunday by the flatty owner. Nobody hurt, 3 people recovered fron the river, most of all the floating interior stuff as recovered. The outboard sputtered and fired sun a.m., it will run again.
no one got 'thrown' out of the boat....the boat went down gracefully and the occupants just swam out of it. it just took a wave over the rear corner as it was trying to get on plane. its a 14' outboard thats pretty low profile. I dont know who is at fault for the wake nor do i care. Everyone walked away unharmed - thats all that matters. it could have been much worse.
