Two kids should be able to swim circles around the boat. The drift of a capsized boat can be modeled and predicted much easier than a person. They should have been able to stay with the boat.
You are wrong, trust me. It is very rare that wind/current/people in the water all move in the same direction.

Not wrong on this one. You can use the lower unit of the outboard as a step and to stay with the hull of the boat. The hull of the boat can be used to get out of the water. It is slick but has grooves and lips in the fiberglass. It's much better than being submerged in water. The hull is less exposed to wind and more to current. Easier to predict it's drift. Any expert would say to stay with the boat in a capsized situation.
