Operator2 was waiting to load her vessel onto the trailer at the Little Elm public boat ramp when Operator1, pulling a tube, hit her on the port side of her vessel.  Operator2 said that she was hollering at him to stop and that she could not see him due to the bow of his vessel obstructing his view.  She said that he was looking behind him at the tube he was pulling.  Operator2 jumped out of the vessel that she was in to avoid contact.  Operator1's boat hit the port side of the vessel leaving a hole in the fiberglass and then slid back down into the water.  A passerby then came and retrieved Operator2 from the water who was not injured.  There were no equipment issues and life jackets were readily available aboard both vessels.  No alcohol or drugs were involved in the accident.  Insurance information was exchanged at the scene and Operator1 received a citation for Reckless Operation of a Motorboat (Class C).
