RedactedNarrative: On Monday June 1, 2020 at approximately 4:30pm operator1 operating a rented 30'' pontoon boat with 8 members of his family on board was approaching Cedar Grove Marina from upstream traveling downstream along the west bank  of the river. 
  
  At the same time Operator2 was operating a skiboat with 4 of his teenage grandkids on board.  Operator2 was coming out of the marina turning to the left and heading upstream. 
  
  Operator1 noticed v2 coming out of the marina and heading straight toward his pontoon boat from about 100yds away. 
  
  Operator1 was on plane and cruising, he thought he could see well enough but, was noticing his grandkids seated in front of him had grown significantly from the year before and were sitting much higher inhibiting his line of sight. 
  
  As Operator1 saw the ski boat(V2)  approaching at a high rate of speed, he didn’t''t know which way was best to turn.  Immediately prior to the collision Operator1 turned sharply to the right, at the same time Operator2’s grandkids yelled loudly and Operator2 spotted the pontoon and  turned sharply to the right.  
  
  The skiboat(V2) struck the pontoon(V1) on the starboard side bow and ramped to the port side of the vessel where it took out pipe railing as it exited the deck about 8'' from the bow of the vessel.
