Operator had been pulling kids on a tube.  Afterwards he was driving off the rope got tangled in the prop causing engine failure.  This sent the boat adrift from the south bank to the North bank where the waves were very rough.  I was contacted and I told Operator to put out an anchor because he was worried the boat would wash ashore.  He tied off the anchor when he was approximately 150 yards from shore.  I came on scene and took the 5 kids and one adult to she shore and then drove Operator back across the lake to his residence.  I had a fireman pickup the kids and take them back to the residence. Operaotr went back to check on the boat around 7:30pm to find that his boat was washed ashore on its side and called me the next day to report the total loss of his boat.  It appeared the anchor rope either came undone or broke causing the boat to wash ashore. There were no injuries.
