Operator2 had rented a pontoon boat from the Hayden Lake Marina.  The pontoon boat was next to vessel that was docked at the marina.  When Operator2 was attempting to undock the vessel, he backed the vessel into the dock that was behind him.  When Operator2 placed the vessel in forward, he hit V1 with the starboard pontoon of the vessel.  It caused a hole in V1 vessel approximately 8inches by 5inches in the stern on the starboard side and it also caused another crack approximately 4inches by 4inches just to the left of first hole.  At the stern on the port side there is two scratches, the first scratch is approximately 5inchs long and the second being approximately 3 inches long.  After Operator2 hit the vessel, he observed the damage his vessel caused.  Operator2 then proceed to leave and go out on the water right after he hit the vessel.  Operator2 then returned approximately 3 hours later.  When Operator2 returned, he had docked the vessel at the end of the marina, he then asked one of the Hayden Lake Marina to dock the vessel for him, as Operator2 did not feel comfortable doing it himself.  The attendant said he would.  The attendent also asked Operator2 if he knew that he had hit another vessel, Operator2 said he did.  When I spoke with Operator2, he told me that he has operated vessels like this in the past.  He also went on to tell me that the steering in this vessel felt different.
