On July 23, 2011 at approximately 10:06 P.M. I, CPO was notified of a property damage only boat accident on Fox Lake.  I contacted the individuals involved and had them meet me at Electric Harbor.  operator1 was operating the 34 foot Formula and operator2 was the operator of the 30 foot Maurell pontoon boat.  operator1 was traveling Northeast towards the Petite Lake channel at approximately 20 to 25 MPH.  operator2 was traveling North towards the same channel at approximately 10-20 MPH.  operator2 observed the Formula approaching from his portside and put the pontoon boat in reverse.  At the last minute operator1 observed the pontoon boat and turned hard to the left, but still managed to strike the port bow of the pontoon boat.  Since operator1 was approaching from the left, he was the give way vessel and operator2 was the stand on vessel. 

As a result of the collision the port bow of the pontoon was received extensive damage.  operator1 stated there was a long scrap that removed the gel on the starboard side under the waterline.  Pictures of the scrap were not taken because the Formula was still in the water.
