BOAT #1 OPERATOR WAS CHECKING OUT THE BOAT IN ORDER TO BUY IT. SHE AND HER FRIEND GOT INTO THE BOAT TO LEAVE WHEN SHE TRIED TO TURN THE BOAT AWAY FROM SHORE AND GAVE IT TOO MUCH THROTTLE. SHE STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN AND SHE JUST COULDN'T TURN AWAY FROM THE DOCKED PONTOON BOAT (BOAT #2) AND COLLIDED WITH THE STARBOARD STERN CORNER.
