Based on all three witness/operator statements, which were all conflicting, and the physical damage that was noted on both of the vessels: It appears that both vessels were operating at or below idle speed when they collided just outside the Holly Circle boat ramp along Soddy Creek.  It appears that V1 was engaged in a turn and V2 was either idling toward/drifting near V1.

Either version told by the operators could be validated by the physical damage which consisted of:

- V1 - A fiberglass gouge mark and some fiberglass spiderwebbing along the starboard side behind the drivers seat.  There was also some slight damage to the rubrail noted.
-V2 - A small amout of black plastic rubrail embedded behind the bow eye.

This concludes my investigation unless new witnesses or evidence arises
