Occupants of Vessel #1 and vessel #2 were friends.  Vessel #1 was stopped in the water when vessel #2 hit vessel #1 from behind riding over the stern.  A passenger stated that both operators were consuming alcohol.  The accident was not reported until approximately 6 hours later because operator #1 was a friend of operator #2 who was drinking shots and did not want to get him into any further trouble than he was in already.  Operator of vessel #1 was cited for failure to notify law enforcement imediately following the collision.  Operator #2 was cited for failure to maintain a lookout while underway.
