Silver hilton, here is the explaination about the body search......
A guy takes his brother and his 13 yr, old nephew out on a river to hunt ducks on backwaters. This is the first time he takes his new sled on the river. It is a 19' Willie Predator powered by a 175 sportjet. on the way down rier to where they are going to hunt he sucks up some cra in the pump and losses all power. They shut down the engine and grab some paddle and paddle slowly to shore and clean out the pump. No biggie, They fire it back up and off they go. They hunt until about an hour before it gets to dark to make it home safely. What should have been a a 15 minute boat ride back to the ramp turned into a night of hell. Te pumped clogged up 3 different times on the run back upstream. The last time was about 1/2 mile from the ramp in a fairly swift section of river. As they were trying to paddle the boat to shore in the dark the boat hit a submerged log and it capsized. The 2 aduls who were at the back of the boat were thrown in the water. The 13 yr. old kid was sitting up front under the top was caught along with the dog. All 3 people were wearing their life jackets. The kid and the dog both drowned.
After the 2 adults made it to shore, the father searched for his kid while the uncle went to get help. The uncle knocked on the door of a friend of mine while I was on the phone with him. My friend told me to get over there and help.
The sheriff came and got the uncle and headed down to the river to find the fater while my friend and I got his outboard powered sled ready to go. The sheriffs department wouldnt risk putting their boat in the river at night. My frind and lauched the sled and ran down in the dark until we found th boat. then we searched down river about 2 miles and found nothing.
We returned up to the accident site. The sheriif decided it was best to try and recover the boat to see if the kid was still in it. The way the boat was sitting upside down pinned against the log we couldnt look inside. We used a tractor and some cable to yard the boat out of the river. The dog was still in it the boat, the kid was not. We spent the next 3 days looking for the kid. I drifted that same stretch of river 9 times in 3 days looking. On the 3rd day when the Army Corps of Enginees shut down the flow the kid was found 50 yards downstream of where the boat went down. Im sure glad Im not the one who found him, I would have had a hard time with that.
The guy who owned the boat ha rn that river over a 100 times before in his old outboard powered boat with any problems. The first time he uses the new boat in that river his nephew dies......

Thats why I dont like sportjets.
