RedactedNarrative: Operator of V1 advised he was preparing to tow occupant 2 on a kneeboard. He began to slowly accelerate to take the slack out of the tow rope when he heard the kids on board begin to scream and jump toward the bow of V1. Instantly he felt a large jolt and was knocked to the deck. Occupant 2 (kneeboarder) advised he watched V2 come from his right side and "run over" his boat. He screamed at V2's operator to turn off the engine because he could see the prop continuing to spin and chop pieces out of his boat. Another witness on V1 advised someone yelled just before impact and she saw V2's bow inside V1. V2 was still running and continued to push V2 further on top of V1. An occupant for V2 stated they were towing a tuber and he was the observer so he didn't see anything prior to impact - they were just going straight. Operator of V2 advised he saw V1 and it was traveling south directly at his vessel. He said he began to slow his vessel and turned to the left to avoid a collision. At this point he realized V1 was towing a skier so he jerked the wheel to the right and when he did; V1 turned to the left which put both vessels in the "same place". Later V2 operator stated "it happened so quick" he wasn't exactly sure what happened but he knew he was headed north. V2 operator advised when they hit, he was thrown over the windshield and it took him a few seconds to get up and back to the driver's console where he turned off the motor. He advised he was not wearing his kill switch lanyard. 
  
  Damage to V2 included severe damage to the keel. There were striations traveling parallel to the keel from the bow eye to the stern. The transom and skeg were significantly damaged and there were deep scratches in the metal and the skeg was bent at nearly a 45 degree angle.
