OPERATOR STATED HE THREW OUT AN ANCHOR FROM THE STERN AND ALMOST INSTANTLY V1 WAS PULLED UNDER.  AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THERE WERE 6 GENERATOR'S ON AND THE RIVER FLOW WAS VERY STRONG.  ALL OCCUPANTS WERE WEARING PFD'S AND WERE ABLE TO BE RESCUED BY OTHER BOATERS IN THE AREA. V1 WAS RECOVERED THE NEXT DAY HOWEVER THE 9.9 MERCURY OUTBOARD WAS NO LONGER ATTACHED. V1'S STERN WAS "CRACKED" ON THE STARBOARD SIDE CORNER.
