Missing Boater in Lake Hartwell Found Wednesday.

The body of a boater who went missing on Lake Hartwell in Anderson County Sunday night has been recovered.

Anderson County officials say the body of 26-year old Martin Acevedo was found Wednesday afternoon in the Seneca River between Broyles Landing and the Portman Marina.

Acevedo and a friend had been boating on Lake Hartwell Sunday night when a sudden storm came up.

As the pair attempted to make their way to shore, their bass boat hit a wave and the two were thrown overboard.

Acevedo’s friend, who has not been identified, was able to swim to shore but Acevedo disappeard below the surface.

Rescue crews from Anderson County and the South Carolina DNR had been searching for his body since Sunday night but heavy rain hampered their efforts.
