Vessel 1 was being operated on the Ohio River, just downstream from River Towne, when Vessel 1 struck an unknown submerged object; the collision resulted in the engine and mount breaking free from the transom and Vesel 1 beginning to take on water.  The Occupants aboard Vessel 1 were unable to bail water from Vessel 1 at a fast enough rate and another boater in the area was hailed for assistance.  The aiding vessel and respnding emergency services towed Vessel 1 to the ramp where it was tied to a tree on the shoreline; Vessel 1 was recovered the following day after becoming partially submerged.
