According to witness statements on 4-10-11 operator was operating a 1977 Arrow Glass vessel on Kentucky Lake.  one other person and a small dog were occupants in the vessel.  The trio were cruising down river to test the vessel motor that had just been serviced.  The motor quit running and the vessel slowed to a drift.  The operator noticed the vessel was sitting low in the water and was close to coming over the stern.  occupant stood up to walk toward the bow to distribute weight.  As she stood water started coming over the stern and the boat sank in less than 5 seconds near TN River mile 201.  All occupants entered the water as the vessel sank.  An adult PFD and a child PFD surfaced near operator.  He tossed the adult PFD to occupant and she held it as she swam to shore.  operator held on to the childs PFD and swam to shore while pushing the dog away.  All occupants reached the shore then walked to a nearby county road where they found a ride to their residence.  operator then called Hardin County central dispatch who in turn called TWRA Region 1 dispatch.
