RedactedNarrative: Upon notification of the accident, contact was made with the operator of V1 at his residence.  V1 operator advised he and his kids were anchored with their lights on around the Rocky Branch Marina area, outside the No Wake Zone, getting ready to go swimming.  V1 operator heard a boat take off and begin heading toward them.  He began yelling at the boat (V2) to stop and he grabbed his kids and took cover behind the steering console in the back of V1.  V2 then ramped the bow of V1, landed back in the water and stopped approximately 35 yards from V1.  According to statements V2 asked if everyone was ok, then began to leave the scene. V1 Operator yelled at them to stop to exchange information and pursued them until they finally stopped.  They exchanged information.  V1 Operator stated that V2 operator said he was going to meet him at his house the next morning at 10:00am "to make things right".  V1 operator stated he thought V2's operator and occupants were intoxicated because passenger 2 was stumbling and almost fell and the operator's speech was slurred and he also had trouble keeping his balance.  
  
  Contact was made the next day with V2's operator at his residence.  He, passenger 2 and 3 were all consuming alcoholic beverages and intoxicated.  He admitted to "having a few" before the accident but there was not enough evidence to charge him with BUI.  He admitted several times it was his fault, he just wasn't paying attention.  V2's operator he stated after he struck V1 he didn't know what to do so he called out to see if everyone in V1 was ok and then he took off to his dock because he thought his boat was taking on water and would possibly sink.  He was issued a citation for Reckless Operation.
