RedactedNarrative: On 07/26/2023 Operator2 was in contact with the Atlantic City Marine Station in reference to a PWC accident that occurred on 07/07/2023. Operator2 stated that another pwc struck his while docking at the Harborview Marina located in Lower Twp., Cape May County. At the time of the accident, Operator2 stated that there was no visible damage done to both pwc's. Operator2 stated that at this time both parties exchanged information, and went their separate ways. Operator2 stated that later that day he pulled his vessel and removed the plastic rub rail from the ski. Operator2 stated that after doing so he noticed minor damage to the fiberglass where Operator1's vessel struck his. 
  
  Operator2 stated that he then was in contact with Operator1 about the damage. Operator1 stated that he would pay for the damage and for Operator2 to provide him with the quotes. Operator2 stated that he received two quotes from boat dealerships in the Middle Twp., area and then provide same to Operator1. At this time, Operator2 stated that Operator1 disagreed with the amount of money that the dealerships were charging to fix the vessel and that he would be able to find someone cheaper to do the fiberglass work. Operator2 stated that he did not want anyone else to fix the vessel but a local dealership since the pwc was brand new, so that’s when he notified the State Police to get an accident report. 
  
  It should be noted that I spoke to Operator1 on 7/26. Operator1 stated that his vessel did hit Operator2's vessel and that he was aware of the damage that Operator2 was claiming. Operator1 stated that he thinks that the two dealerships that Operator2 received the quotes from are unreasonable and that he was willing to pay for the damage if the price was reasonable. 
  
  It should be noted that no on scene Investigation was conducted since the accident occurred on 07/07/23. Both parties gave statements via telephone and Operator1's pwc was not observed.
