Operator2 was operating his boat on plane southbound in the main North/South boat lane with one passenger onboard.  Operator1 was operating his boat on plane northbound in the main North/South boat lane with one juvenile passenger onboard.  As the boats were approaching near the intersection of the East/West 4 boat lane, Operator1 hit a wake causing him to lose control of his boat.  Operator1 made an abrupt turn to port and came off plane, placing him in Operator2's path of travel.  Operator2 turned hard to starboard in an effort to avoid a collision, but struck Operator1's boat anyway.  First point of impact was Operator2's port beam with Operator1's starboard stern.  After initial impact, Operator1's starboard beam rotated into Operator2's boat causing a secondary impact.  All subjects were properly wearing PFD's and both operators had their kill switches attached.  No one was injured.
