On October 30, 2010  vessel one was traveling west/southwest on plane in the Steinhatchee River. At approximately 8:40am the operator's attention was diverted from the direction the vessel was traveling. When the operator looked ahead again he was heading straight for a channel marker. The operator turned to port to try to avoid impact, but the vessel struck channel marker 23 on the starboard side bow. Impact with the channel marker caused two occupants to be ejected from the vessel.
