Powerboat Sinks In Lake Of The Ozarks Cove, Near Tap & Grill

LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. — A boat sank on Lake of the Ozarks Saturday evening, Aug. 2, leaving occupants in the water swimming to safety.

The boat, only identified by make as a Baja, sank in the cove that contains Millstone Marina and Tap & Grill.

According to eyewitness Alan Faitel, the boat came into the cove “riding really low in the water.” Faitel said he saw the boat stop in front of Tap & Grill and women started getting out. “Then the water came in over the back, and then it went under quickly,” he said, adding, “They got picked up by a pontoon boat.”

Faitel said he was told the boat was sunk in about 53 feet of water.

No injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
