RedactedNarrative: Around midnight on August 1st, 2021 a strong weather system came through Flathead Lake with winds in excess of 30 mph out of the west. This created large waves that were reported to be close to 6ft. Air temperature was around 80 degrees Fahrenheit and water temperature was around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  
  The operator of the motor boat went out on the lake with one occupant to assist two canoers who had capsized their canoe in rough waves. After the two canoers were boarded onto the motorboat the waves then swamped the motor boat causing the engine first to stall and then the motor boat capsized after more waves further swamped the boat. All 4 occupants of the boat then were swimming with PFDs. Search and Rescue came out and then brought everyone in to shore. 
  
  The boat capsized in a deep section of Skidoo Bay, approximately 300 ft in depth. Damage mainly consisted of water damage to engine, onboard electronics and the bimini top/sun cover to the boat. No injuries beyond first aid were reported from this capsizing event.
