subject 1 put his vessel in the water at Bluff Landing.  He went north to Rocky Point.  He left there and continued north.  He turned into the barge holding area.  Just inside he braced himself to turn around and his knee hit the kill switch which turned off the engine and a rush of water came over the back of the vessel.  He reattached the kill switch but the motor would not restart.  He paddled out into the channel and began drifting south.  He got the motor started and continued south when he noticed smpke.  His passenger raised the motor cover and it was on fire.  They made it to the west bank just past Black Fox and both subjects got out of the vessel.  The vessel them floated about .8 tenths of a mile on south and got stuck on a mud bog.  The Inola Fire Dept put a vessel in the water at 33 Landing with equipment to try to put out the fire.  When they got to the vessel it was fully engulfed and they were unsuccessful in nputting out the fire.  They brought subject 1 and passenger back to 33 Landing.  They were not injured.
