RedactedNarrative: V2 operator advised they were stationary and fishing off the front and back decks when they noticed a metal boat (V1) take off and began heading their way.  
  
  V2 operator further advised he noticed V1's bow in the air and it appeared as though V1 didn't see them so they began yelling and waving their arms to try and get their attention.  
  
  After failed attempts V2's operator and passenger jumped out of the boat to avoid being hit. V1 struck V2 causing damage to the port side top rail and destroying the trolling motor.  
  
  V1's operator advised they had just launched the boat and admitted the bow was in the air and that he had two flip up seats on the front fishing deck obstructing his view.  V1's operator advised the boat was just leveling out when he noticed V2 and immediately reduced power.  V1's operator admitted it was his fault for not seeing V2. No medical attention required.
