This needn't be a big boat, though. In the early 1990s, I had a tiny two-man fishing boat containing a small deck welded to a pair of small pontoons. I powered it with a 3-horsepower Tanaka outboard.

Two men were fishing on the vessel when it capsized ... and he was pronounced dead on the scene. The other man in the boat at the time is also from Oak Forest, officials said.
