The 69-year Middleton man had just sold the boat and was taking the new owner, a 59-year-old Strathalbyn man, for a test drive, Channel 10 reported.

Witness and rescuer, Brett Hoppen, noticed the “big splash”.

“I didn’t even notice the fella in the water until I was right there. The guy that I helped was obviously in a lot of pain,” he told Channel 10.

The Middleton man is in a serious but stable condition and the Strathalbyn man is in a stable condition.
