Vessel was heading upriver at approximately 20-25 miles per hour when Vessel 1 struck something in the water and the engine ceased operation.  The Operator of Vessel 1 then used the anchor to try to secure Vessel 1 and was able to pull Vessel 1 over to a group of trees and other debris in the water to stop Vessel 1 from being pushed downstream.  The Operator then contacted 911 and emergency services responded to the scene.  Upon their arrival, the local fire department towed Vessel 1 to shore where Vessel 1 ended up on its port side, half-submerged and pointing downstream.  Upon inspection, it was determined that the outdrive had been torn off Vessel 1.  Vessel 1 was later pushed upright, water was pumped out, and Vessel 1 was trailered for removal from the scene.
