RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 (jet boat) was launching from the Yellow Cliffs boat ramp when he turned the motor on and collided into vessel 2 (sailboat) which was moored to the Yellow Cliffs barge at the time. 
  
  The boat collision was reported by Tonto National Forrest Service employees. 
  
  The owner of the vessel 2 stated he was just about to board his sailboat when vessel 1 collided into the starboard stern of vessel 2. Vessel 2 sustained a crack to the outside hull which also penetrated to the inside, with visible cracks. 
  
  Neither vessel was disabled. 
  
  The operator of vessel1 said he was being pushed out of the Yellow Cliffs launching area by his son. His son then boarded the vessel and when they started the engine the throttle stuck in forward causing them to strike vessel 2. 
  
  An independent witness who was near the Yellow Cliffs boat ramp corroborated the story saying that he observed the vessel 1 launching as it turned toward vessel 2, vessel 1 started the engine, then struck vessel 2. 
  
  The owner of vessel 2 has insurance, through State Farm, on the sailboat and estimated the damage to be $2500.00. The owner of vessel 1 did not have insurance on the jet boat. Deputy both observed vessel 1 and did not observe any damage. The passenger and son of the operator observed the boat and reported to Deputy that there was no damage from the collision.
