RedactedNarrative: At approximately 0915 Vessel 2 was headed West in a marked channel at the South end of Stump Pass State Park. The vessel was mostly settled in the water and traveling at approximately 5-10 miles an hour. Vessel 1 was on full plane, traveling at approximately 25-30 miles an hour headed in the same direction and channel as Vessel 2. According to both witness statements and evidence, the operator of Vessel 1, looked away from the operations of the vessel to manipulate a GPS device when the collision occurred. The bow of Vessel 1 impacted the starboard stern of Vessel 2 at approximately 0920. Vessel 1 went over the starboard, transom of Vessel 2, and through the seating area; grazing the operator's right arm and impacting the console area before deflecting and settling back in the water. Both Vessels beached at Stump Pass State Park and victim called 911. Operator2 was taken by ambulance to Englewood Hospital where he was treated for bruising and potential nerve damage to him right arm.
  
  CONCLUSION
  Based on evidence and information gathered to date I have concluded the following: The operator of Vessel 1 failed to maintain a proper look-out per U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Rule 5. Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight and hearing as well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision. Operator1 diverted his attention from the operation of his vessel and subsequently collided with the stern of Vessel 2. 
  
  
  Operator2 suffered a Brusied right arm, potential nerve damage.
