Operator of Vessel 1 was experiencing start and stop issues with the throttle when it stuck in the open throttle mode.  Operator of Vessel 1 then made the decision to land the vessel in an area at the launch ramp where people were not on the shoreline.  The vessel 1 then struck parts of vessel 2 on it's starboard side as it was being trailered out of the water.  It then  grounded upon impact with the ramp and skid up and stopped about a boat length from the waters edge. Damage to the Vessel A was minimal and the source of the open throttle issue was still not resolved months later.  Vessel B owner settled the damages for $7,000.
