On 6/1/13 I was dispatched to a boating accident on Boone Lake just out from Lakeview Marina. I obtained a call back number from dispatch. 

Operator2 stated that the vessel that struck his vessel left the area and went towards Lakeview Marina. Operator2 also stated that that same vessel came back to check on them. Captain and I arrived at Lakeview Marina on 6/1/13 at 1703 hours. I met with two Sullivan County Sheriff''s Officers at the marina. The officers had collected information from the individuals involved in the incident and gave that information to me.  I observed vessel TN 0576 DN, a 20'' 6" white and yellow Tahoe, docked near the Lakeview Marina ramp.  The vessel had damage to the rear and middle starboard side hull, glass shield, and interior. I spoke with the operator of the damaged vessel, and the operator of the other vessel involved. 

I observed visible cuts to Operator2, and his wife. Operator2 stated he obtained the cuts when the glass shield broke upon impact with the other vessel. occupants of Operator2''s vessel, were also on the dock. Captain began photographing the damage on vessel TN 0576 DN. Operator2 gave me his account of the incident. I spoke with Operator1 who stated he was the operator of the other vessel involved. Operator1 gave me his account of the incident. I asked Operator1 where his vessel was at that time. Operator1 stated that it was tied up in the slip where he normally keeps it. Captain and I walked down the dock with Operator1 to his vessel.  Operator1''s vessel was a 18'' red and white Sea Doo Challenger with registration of VA 4702 BU. I observed damage to the port bow just above the waterline. Captain photographed Operator1''s vessel and the damaged area.  Operator1 and I walked back to my truck where I obtained his statement on the incident. Officer arrived at Lakeview Marina and obtained Operator2''s statement. Captain obtained statement. Captain and I told Operator1 that we would meet him the next day to raise his vessel out of the water and photograph the damage beneath the waterline.
