Operator stated they were yo-yo fishing and as they motored north toward the boat ramp, he collided with a tree in the water.  The impact ejected passenger/victim #4 into the water.  Passenger/victim #2 struck the center console of the boat.  After the collision, the operator was unable to start the motor so he used a spotlight for a distress signal and a subject came to their aid and towed V1 back to the ramp.  V1 received damage to the bow and the impact caused the battery to flip over and lose connections.  EMS transported the two victims to the local hospital.
