RedactedNarrative: According to statements from operators and passengers involved, V1 was traveling upstream and was traveling with just enough speed to allow it to be on plane.  V1 had been traveling this way for approx. one mile.  The operator of V1 was periodically using a spotlight to locate channel markers and shoreline.  V2 was traveling across the channel and had just came from the Ish Cr./ Prater Flats area.  The operator of V2 had just sat the boat down from being on plane, but was still moving with the motor in gear at an idle speed.  The operator of V2 was shinning a spotlight on the shoreline to make sure he was in the right area.  The operators of the vessels noticed each other and the operator of V1 attempted to avoid the collision by turning hard to his left.  The bow of V2 contacted the starboard side of V1 at the operators seat.
