RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated: "We were coming through the canal, maybe 6 or 7 knots. When on the right side of the canal, what I assumed last second was a mast headlight and then we made contact right after that. There was not much time when I noticed the light from when we collided, maybe 2 seconds. I noticed they were in the water. We threw them flotation devices and got them on board".
  
  Operator #2 stated: I saw the boat far away from me, when it got closer I understood they did not see me when I tried to go backwards but did not have enough time. Thats when the boat ran us over and we got thrown into the water.
  
  Investigation at the scene revealed: Both vessels were traveling in the Point Pleasant Canal. Vessel #1 (Vl), 40ft Intrepid, was traveling northbound. Vessel #2 (V2), an 18ft Starcraft, was traveling southbound. Vl failed to provide proper lookout while underway and ran over V2. 
  
  The occupants of V2 were ejected into the water upon impact. Occupants from Vl assisted the occupants of V2 and got them aboard their vessel. No injuries were reported or observed when on scene. V2 overturned and sunk. V2 was towed from the scene by NJSP vessels and secured to a piling at the north end of the canal by River Beach. The operator of V2 made arrangements and removed V2.
