He was coming in late in the evening when a squall was approaching and the wind got up. Waves got big and one picked him up and deposited him on a sandbar, swamped the engine and the boat sunk in about 2-3 minutes. I believe the top cap separated from the hull, as well.

Choke aint no joke, last year I saw a Ranger upside down in the back of a cove by Four Fingers that sank mid lake and floated to its burial! For a smallish lake the winds can make it fierce out there.

I just watched a video yesterday of a Ranger with severe collision impact damage being pulled from a lake. And no, it did not float while missing a huge chunk out of the cap and hull on one side. Actually, it was under water and upside down.
As for knocking holes in boats, I've done it twice to Skeeters, and I'm not proud of it. Both holes much larger than your fist. And they floated and fished, no problem.
Hit something hard enough to bust the cap loose from the hull and swamp the motor with a wave over the transom that instantly fills the boat, in severe water, and you're gonna sink. I don't care what brand it is.
