Both operators sent in their own reports on this accident. Vessel one operator states that upon leaving a bass tournament he was vessel number five and proceeded out of the bay at a speed of about 30 mph. At the mouth of the bay there was  no wake zone, but there was enough room to get two to three vessels through. As vessel one was approaching, the number seven boat came up on the right side and cut in front of vessel one, then shut the vessels motor down to go through the no wake area. Vessel one tried to shut motor off but vessel two was too close and the momentum pushed vessel one into vessel two. Pfd's where being used and worn, no alcohol was involved.
