  Vessel #1 was struck by unknown vessel, hereafter known as vessel #2. Vessel #1 was struck by vessel #2 at a 110 degree angle of impact from the starboard stern causing damage to the motor, motor mount, and body of vessel #1. Due to lack of information from vessel #2 and no witness statements, the exact time and location of the collision, path of engagement, and damage to vessel #2 is unknown.
