     According to a statement Owner1, he and his family were on Lake Allatoona in his boat (1990 blue/white Rinker) on Father's Day around 1530 hours.  Owner1 said that a large party boat from Park Marina was drifting near his boat.  He noticed the boat getting closer to his to boat after the operator of the party boat started the engine and began to operate the boat in his direction.  Owner1 then had to pull his children from the water as they were swimming at the back of his boat.  The party boat then came into contact with his boat causing damage to the fiberglass.  
     After pushing the boats apart, Owner1 said the party boat took off at full speed.  The party boat had the anchor out.  When the party boat left Owner1 boat, the anchor line from the party boat caught Owner1 anchor line and dragged Owner1 boat across the water for a short distance.  The party boat finally stopped and the anchor lines were untangled and the party boat left the area.
     Owner1 provided me with an estimate for the repairs to his boat.  The estimate is from Calm Water Express, Inc. in Woodstock.  The estimate is detailed to the repairs to be made to Owner1' boat and is for $3, 853.25.  (See attachment for estimate repairs)  Owner1 also informed and sent me a link to a video of the incident that had been posted on You Tube.
     The video of the incident that Owner1 sent to me is inconclusive.  The video stops right before the boats collide.  I did notice the children swimming at the back of Owner1' boat.  The party boat could not be identified from this angle but you can tell that there is a large number of people on that boat.  
     I spoke to the rental manager at Park Marina.  Manager informed me that she did receive a call from a man saying that his boat was hit by a Park Marina boat.  Manager stated that the man described the people on the boat as "being latino and very rowdy."  Manager was not provided with any other description of the boat such as a boat letter or the Georgia registration number.  Manager checked the rental information from that day and time and gave me the information for a possible customer.  The information provided to me from Park Marina at this time and the video of the evidence from Owner1 was still inconclusive for the incident.
     On July 11, I was contacted by Park Marina about a new video of the incident that Owner1 was involved in on June 17.  The video is from the opposite angle of the video that Owner1 informed me about.  In this video you can see the party boat with several people on-board.  The party boat has the anchor line out on the right side near the stern and is towing a PWC (personal watercraft).  The party boat then takes off from almost hitting the boat where the incident is being filmed.  The party boat then goes toward the blue and white boat with the man (Owner1) in red shirt and shorts standing at the back of his boat.  Owner1 and passengers from the party boat try to keep the two boats from colliding.  The PWC that is being towed hits the back left corner of Owner1 boat.  The party boat then takes off again and the anchor line from the party boat and from Owner1 boat  gets tangled.  The party boat drags Owner1 boat across the water for a short distance.  The party boat is finally stopped and the anchor lines are untangled and the party boat leaves the area.
     After viewing the video, Park Marina sent me the information on the person who had rented the party boat in the videos.
