RedactedNarrative: On 8/17/2014 V1 was tubing and the transom broke & the motor came off & fell into the water.  The motor was still attached by the steering cable so it hung behind the boat.  V1 was unable to raise the motor due to weight so tried to start the kicker motor.  A line got caught in the prop & it stalled.  The boat was taking on water & eventually capsized with just the tip of the bow protruding from the water.  All occupants put on  life jackets & swam to the tube to wait until picked up by another vessel.  Upon inspection of the transom, the wood was found to be rotted yet was not visible due to it being covered by fiberglass.
