Boat was equipped with a large swim deck off of the stern.  Operator allowed passengers to remain on this deck while he operated the boat at a slow speed closer to another boat.  this would have placed these passengers in closed proximity to the motor''s exhaust.  The victim was one of these passengers.  the victim stopped breathing.  The ooperator took the child and along with his wife performed CPR on the victim who was their 3 year old son.  the boat was driven to the Mr. d''s boat ramp where 911 was called.  EMT''s arrived.  Victim was eventually transported to Wesley Medical Center via Lifewatch Helicopter.  Victim stayed overnight at the hospital where he was treated for CO poisoning.  
Note:  the victim''s father advised that the victim had been suffereing from a cold at the time of the accident.  Doctors involved with the treatment advised that this condition could have made the victim more susceptible to CO poisoning.  Victim appears to have recovered from the accident.
