Operator of vessel 1 stated he was leaving party cove, still in the no wake area, as two large boats passed him on his port going in the same direction.  The two boats accelerated and caused a large wake causing vessel 1 to swamp.  As vessel 1 was taking on water, the operator was able to get his vessel close to the shore so it wouldn't sink.  Vessel 1 came to rest with the stern to the north shore and the bow and engine area submerged.  Area of the accident was approx 173 feet north of the south shoreline of party cove and approx .2 miles east of the west shoreline and approx 213 feet west of the east shoreline.
