Operator stated he was headed south on Coal Pile at an idle when he hit a stump.  The stump went through the bottom of V1 in the middle near the seat causing V1 to take on water.  Another boat passing by was able to off-load the occupants and took them to the bank.  When the investigator arrived on scene, V1 was almost completely submerged; the only thing keeping it from sinking was the stump it was on.  No injuries were reported.
