Owner, operator stated that he was leaving the idle zone from the marina with all proper navigational lights operating correctly and was heading townards the resort. It was a cloudy moonless night, and visibility was very limited. Operator states the he slowly got his vessel up on plane with drives tucked all the way in and tables all the way down so that he could go as slow as possible while staying on plain in a 20-25 mile range. 

After being on plane for possible 20-30 seconds operator noticed an object 50-60 feet off the vessels bow, operator turned the vessel hard to port side as the object got closer it came to be a tri pontoon with absolutely no navigation lights on or any other light for that matter. Operator stated he turned hard port for the reason  being the vessel was approaching in a slight angle off the bow starboard side, the vessel seemed to never even slow down and hit vessel one on the starboard rear 10 ft of vessel. Operator pulled back on the throttles just coming off plane and circled around to the other vessel and yelled for them to follow vessel on back to the marina. Vessel one proceeded to marina without stopping as operator did not know the extent to damage to vessel one. Vessel one operator was concerned for his safety and the other two occupant on the vessel with him and getting them off the vessel if it was taking on water and not to be stranded in the middle of the lake. Operator one stated that the other vessel never turned on their navigational lights or after the contact with vessel one and was never seen again.  Vessel on was not wearing pfd's and no alcohol was involved in this accident. 

Vessel two has never been identified.
