On August 27th, 2011 two people were riding jet skis at Lovewell Reservoir.  According to written statements V2 was in front of V1 and V2 started a right turn while slowing down to a stop.  V1 stated that V2 cut in front of him and the operator of V1 "shut the jetski down, but still hit" striking V2 on starboard side of vessel.  Operator of V1 stated that he was going less than 10mph.  NRO consulted Lovewell Marina and grill concerning damage to V1.  They checked V1 and thought it was ok.  Damage to V2 consisted of fiberglass cracks through the hull above and below the rubrail and a small hole punctured in hull below the rubrail.  Also rubber insert from rubrail is popped out of channel.  Owner of V2 stated that he had it inspected by a local body shop and that they told him it was a total loss.
