On 09/18/2011, at approximately 1615 hours, V1 was traveling from Las Vegas Boat Harbor to Sandy Cove, Lake Mead, Nevada.  While approaching Sandy Cove, the Operator turned to starboard to give himself a wide approach angle into Sandy.  He then turned to port and began decelerating.  He corrected slightly back to starboard to make his approach as close to 90 degrees as possible.  He decelerated slightly again and reached for his trim tabs to lower the engines. The vessel "flipped" ejecting all occupants.  All passengers were transported to shore where they met with medical personnel.  Most of the passengers were transported via ambulance to local hospitals where they were treated and released.  See injury pages for further details.  The vessel continued to sink, stern first, until approximately 8'' of the hull and bow were still afloat, pointing vertically out of the water.  The vessel maintained buoyancy until it was towed to a nearby shore, in Hamblin Bay, and eventually recovered by a salvage crew.
