He let off the throttle in an attempt to slow down as he approached Vessel 1, which was docked at the time, but was unable to slow down quickly enough.  Vessel 2 struck the engine of Vessel 1, tearing it off from the brackets and resulting in approximately $14, 613.00 worth of damage.  There were no injuries, and Vessel 1 was towed by Portsmouth Tow to a local marina.
