AT ABOUT 4:45 P.M., BOAT #1 WAS PUT ON THE WATER FROM HALLS' GLENDO MARINA AND HEADED WEST TOWARDS WHISKEY GULCH TO WATERSKI.  THE THREE PASSENGERS IN THE BOAT WERE WATCHING THE WATERSKIER.  THE OPERATOR WAS SEATED, LOOKING FORWARD AND GLANCING IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR TO WATCH THE WATERSKIER.  THEY HAD BEEN WATERSKIING FOR ABOUT 5 TO 10 MINUTES AND HEADED WEST INTO WHISKEY GULCH WHEN THE WATERSKIER YELLED "WATCH OUT!"  IMMEDIATELY BEFORE BOAT #1 COLLIDED WITH BOAT #2.  ONE OF THE PASSENGERS  WAS SEATED IN THE BOW OF BOAT #1 AND WAS EJECTED.  THE OPERATOR AND ANOTHER PASSENGER WERE THROWN TO THE FLOOR.  THE BOAT WAS STILL IN GEAR AND TURNING IN CIRCLES.  THE PASSENGER THAT WAS THROWN TO THE FLOOR GOT UP AND PUT THE BOAT IN NEUTRAL.  THE OPERATOR GOT BACK INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND RECOVERED BOTH THE PASSENGER AND THE SKIER FROM THE WATER.  THE OPERATOR DROVE THE BOAT BACK TO THE MARINA WHERE THEY MET EMS.

BOAT #2 WAS PUT ON THE WATER AT THE WHISKEY GULCH BOAT RAMP AT AROUND 5:00 P.M. AND HAD JUST GOT ON PLANE, HEADING NORTH WHEN THE BOATS COLLIDED ON THE STARBOARD SIDE OF BOAT #2 AND THE BOW OF BOAT #1, APPROXIMATELY 500-1000 YARDS NORTHEAST OF WHISKEY GULCH BOAT RAMP.  THERE WERE FIVE PASSENGERS ABOARD THE BOAT.  ALL FIVE PASSENGERS WERE WATCHING A BIRD ON THE WATER WHEN THE COLLISION OCCURRED.  BOAT #2 WAS TOWED BACK TO THE WHISKEY GULCH BOAT RAMP, WHERE IT WAS LOADED AND ALL PASSENGERS WERE DRIVEN TO THE HOSPITAL.
