VESSEL 1 AND 2 WERE TRAVELING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS TOWARD EACH OTHER. WATER CONDITIONS WERE CHOPPY AND CROWDED DUE TO MANY BOATS LEAVING LOCAL FIREWORK SHOWS. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE WATER CONDITIONS, INCREASED BOAT TRAFFIC AND DARKNESS WERE MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS TO CRASH. BOTH OPERATORS SAW THE OTHER VESSEL AT THE LAST SECOND. EACH THROTTLED DOWN AND SWERVED TO THE LEFT TO AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION. VESSEL 2 STRUCK VESSEL 1 BEHIND THE OPERATORS SEAT AND STOPPED BEFORE COMPLETELY OVER RUNNING VESSEL 1. NO ONE WAS INJURED, LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS CONTACTED. VESSEL 1 WAS TOWED TO EAGLE POINT MARINA FOR INVESTIGATION. VESSEL 2 WAS ABLE TO TRAVEL TO EAGLE POINT MARINA UNDER OWN POWER. INVESTIGATION COMPLETED, OPERATORS EXCHANGED INFORMATION AND BOTH VESSELS WERE LOADED AND TAKEN BY EACH RESPECTIVE OWNERS. NO CITATIONS ISSUED, NO DRUG OR ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT SUSPECTED.
