A 1974 26' Sanpan Pontoon with eight people aboard swamped in Lake Istokpoga. The subjects were stationary and anchored when the starboard pontoon lost buoyancy. The operator then proceeded toward shore when the vessel swamped, tilting over to starboard. All eight subjects were taken off of the pontoon to a nearby fishing camp. Three elderly subjects were treated and released for hypothermia at a local hospital. One subject was also treated for minor lacerations to her right hand. The vessel was recovered the following day and found to have four holes in the starboard pontoon which caused the swamping.; three had hypothermia and were treated and released at the hospital.
