RedactedNarrative: Operator was traveling down the Tar River from Port-Terminal.  As he traveled around the final curve in an S turn, the operator struck a floating log.  The boat hit the log with the bow and forced it directly underneath.  The log traveled along the bottom of the vessel to the rear where it then came into contact with the lower unit of the outboard motor.  At this time, due to the force generated by the speed of the boat and the size/weight of the log, the motor was ripped from the vessel splitting the transom in half and causing the boat to quickly take on water.  A nearby vessel assisted the operator into their vessel and brought him to the nearest BAA, Masons Landing. The wrecked vessel sank within minutes and is not visible from the the surface.
