RedactedNarrative: The details of the accident are as follows based upon the operator, witnesses from each boat involved in the accident, and witness not involved who observed the accident. 
  
  In vessel 1 (2012 correct craft) four subjects were in the bow of the boat, and the remaining 7 occupants were in the stern. Vessel 1 estimated speed is 25-30 mph with obstructed view from occupants in the bow. The music was up load and occupants were singing and operator admits to be distracted and under the influence of alcoholic beverages. 
  
  Vessel 1 is westbound from olio road into the sunset. Vessel 1 turned south around the island toward the entrance of cocktail cove ( cambridge cove).  Operator of vessel 1 reports never seeing vessel 2 until impact. Vessel 1 passenger reports yelling to watch out at last minute, but impact was unavoidable. Impact occurs. 
  
  Vessel 2 operator reports being just in gear, barely idling outside of the idle zone buoys at cambrige cove (cocktail cove) when he observed vessel 1 round the island at a fast pace. Vessel 2 operator reports standing up and yelling hey, hey and impact occurred. Vessel 2 operator reports never being able to see the operator of vessel 1 prior to impact. Vessel 2 operator did observe several occupants in the stern of vessel 1. 
  
  The specifics of the boat accident will be spelled out in the boat accident reconstruction findings attached. However, as the investigator and based upon my experience and training, vessel 1 operator failed to keep a proper lookout due to several factors on board. Alcohol and audio/visual distractions contributed to the failure to keep a proper lookout, resulting in a collision. Vessel 1 bow impacted vessel 2 port side just behind the passenger seat. Vessel 1 ramped over vessel 2. Vessel 1 stabilizer fin, prop and rudder making contact with vessel 2 cutting through port side gunwale, making contact with vessel 2 engine and exiting through gunwale of vessel 2 starboard side. 
  
  Vessel 1 sustained damage to the bottom of the hull, drive shaft, propeller, and rudder. Vessel 2 sustained devastating damage to windshield, fiberglass construction both port and starboard sides and upper engine. 
  
  Vessel 2 passenger suffered cuts and bruising with fiberglass and glass punctures. 
  
  A complete boat accident reconstruction was performed by ico. That report is pending, while ico is deployed the western states to fight wildland fires. 
  
  Both vessels 1 and 2 had sufficient pfd's for their occupants.
