The OWNER OF THE BOAT LIFT AND THE WITNESS ADVISED OBSERVED THE VESSEL  travel TOWARD THE BOAT LIFT.  WITNESS STATED THAT THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VESSEL APPEARED TO BE HUDDLED AROUND WHAT APPEARED TO BE A CELL PHONE AND NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO WHERE THE BOAT WAS HEADING.  WITNESS OBSERVED THE VESSEL STRIKE THE BOAT LIFT, CAUSING APPROXIMATELY A 2-4 FT GOUGE ON THE FRONT STARBOARD SIDE.  THE VESSEL OPERATOR SPOKE VERY LITTLE ENGLISH BUT ADVISED A SIMILAR ACCOUNT OF EVENTS.  THE BOAT LIFT HAD A VESSEL ON IT BUT THE VESSEL APPEARED UNDAMAGED.  THE BOAT LIFT APPEARED TO BE BENT FROM THE IMPACT.   NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED.
