RedactedNarrative: Victim stated he unloaded the vessel at the boat ramp and pulled back up to the shoreline to move his vehicle and trailer off the boat ramp.  When he got back in the boat, he noticed the automatic bilge pump was running but then it stopped.  Not thinking anything more about it he continued across the lake.  
  
  Victim stated approx. 300 yards out from the boat ramp he realized the back of the vessel was sinking.  He slowed down to assess the situation and the rear of the boat completely sank forcing the victim into the homemade cabin of the vessel.  
  
  Victim became disoriented and unable to leave the vessel but was able to locate a small pocket of air in the front port side of the cabin.  The victim was able to sustain himself there.  Another vessel saw the partially sunken vessel and went to it to see what was going on.  
  
  Occupants of that vessel soon realized there was someone in the cabin of the sunken vessel and immediately rendered aid.  One occupant went into the water, was able to locate an opening in the cabin and physically assisted the exhausted victim to remain in the air pocket while another occupant called 911 for help. 
  
   Investigating Trooper was within 10 miles with a Patrol Boat in tow and responded.  Trooper and two EMS personnel got to the scene by water in time to devise a plan to get the victim out.  Victim was taken to shore with minor injuries and later treated and released from the Hillcrest ER in Tulsa.
