RedactedNarrative: V1 was traveling North (Upstream) on Whites River and while in a right hand turn going around a corner, struck a submerged object causing both occupants to be ejected.
  
  Operator advised that he and his cousin were headed North on Whites River at approximately 1800 hours to go fishing when their vessel struck a submerged object.  Operator stated he was operating the vessel (tiller driven), with his cousin sitting in the front of the boat when they struck the object causing both of them to be ejected.  
  
  As the boat circled to the right, he was struck by the prop in the wrist and abdomen.  The boat then hit a tree and stopped, with the engine falling off and sinking.  Operator stated that he and his cousin were able to retrieve the boat, get in it and drift down stream arriving at the Gulf Power Plant approximately 4 hours after the accident.
  
  As a result of being struck by the prop, Operator sustained injuries to his stomach (lacerations) and his wrist (deep cut exposing tendons) but is expected to make a full recovery.
