ACCORDING TO THE BOAT#1 OPERATOR, BOAT#1 WAS FOLLOWING ANOTHER BOAT DESCRIBED AS A FOUNTAIN BOAT. WHEN BOTH BOATS SLOWED DOWN AS THEY APPROACHED THE 'SLOW-NO-WAKE' ZONE AT THE WISCONSIN STREET BRIDGE, A LARGE WAKE CREATED BY THE FOUNTAIN BOAT CRASHED INTO HIS BOAT WHICH SHATTERED BOAT#1 WINDSHIELD CAUSING SEVERAL SMALL CUTS TO THE OPERATOR & BOAT PASSENGERS. THIS WAVE ALSO FLOODED & SWAMPED THE BOAT CAUSING IT TO SINK IN THE RIVER WITHIN MINUTES. BOAT#1 OPERATOR & PASSENGERS LEFT THE SINKING BOAT & CLIMBED INTO A PASSING BOAT. ALL BOAT#1 OCCUPANTS WERE SEEN BY OSHKOSH FIRE DEPT PERSONNEL, BUT REFUSED ANY FURTHER MEDICAL TREATMENT BEYOND FIRST AID. BOAT#1 WAS SUBMERGED IN THE RIVER WITH ONLY THE BOW STICKING ABOUT 3 TO 4 FEET ABOVE THE WATER SURFACE.
