RedactedNarrative: Operator of Vessel #1 (V1) stated to the effect: I left the dock heading towards the main lake, I picked up speed after the no wake buoy.  The sun was in my eyes just over the horizon, when the hub cover on the steering wheel fell off.  I reached down to pick it up before the collision.  I did not see the other boat.
  
  Operator of Vessel #2 (V2) stated to the effect: We were water skiing with two other adults in the boat with four kids in the water. We were stopped at the time near the blue building (off Rainbow Trail) facing East when I saw the boat heading towards us and was not slowing down. I tried to get the other boats attention, but it was unsuccessful. So I turned my boat into his to avoid a side impact and to protect the kids in the water. The other boat struck my starboard bow.
  
  Investigation revealed: V1 was heading Southwest on Lake Mohawk towards the main lake, when its bow struck V2's starboard bow, which was stationary at the time.  Operator of V1 failed to maintain a proper lookout and made no effort to avoid a collision.  V2 sustained damage to its starboard bow.  V1 had scuff marks on its bow at the center line.  No injuries were reported.  Both vessels departed the scene without any assistance.
