BASED ON INFORMATION TO DATE:  Based on inconsistent operator and occupant statements, The two subjects were hunting ducks in Muddy Creek.  They were moving slowly, possible on plane, when the operator either lost control of the tiller handle or let go and the vessel took a sharp turn to the starboard side ejecting the occupant.  The operator then stated he jumped in to save the ejected party and the vessel capsized.  They did cling to the boat until they were rescued by the Rhea County Sheriff's Office.
