Vessel 1 was idling in the water heading east with a wakeboarder behind the boat holding a tow line.  Vessel 2 was making a wide turn southeast.  The driver of Vessel 1 was looking over his shoulder waiting for the tow line to go tight.  When the line was tight, operator1 pushed the throttle forward while still looking over his shoulder, causing Vessel 1 to rapidly accelerate.  At the time of the collision, Vessel 1 was accelerating and Vessel 2 was continuing the wide turn.  The bow of Vessel 1 landed on the top of the stern and motor of Vessel 2.
