Vessel 1 was traveling eastbound towards Bagley Flats on Saguaro Lake in the Tonto National Forest when the boat hit a wake, causing it to become slightly airborne.  Shortly after that the operator noticed water flooding the boat through the floorboard.  The boat sunk, although not completely.  Approximately 2 feet of the bow of the boat remained out of the water.  Both occupants were wearing PFDs and were able to swim to the safety of a passing boat.  There were no injuries.

The boat was recovered the following day.  Upon recovery it was discovvered that the exhaust bellows that goes between the transom and the outdrive had ruptured.  This allowed water to enter rapidly through the transom and sink the boat.

No diagram was taken due to the fact that the boat had drifted from its original location prior to arrival.
