Operator stated they were traveling east when they struck a submerged stump and V1 came to a stop on top of the stump.  The motor was still running and V1 began going in circles.  They tried to motor off the stump and even tried to rock the boat off the stump.  He noticed a large amount of water coming into the bottom of V1, so he turned the bilge pump on but it could not keep up with the amount of water coming in.  All occupants put on life jackets and swam to the nearest bank (approx. 200 ft away).  Once on shore they walked to a nearby residence and got a ride back to the boat ramp where their vehicle was located.
