RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was traveling Southwest towards the mouth of the Kissimmee River and veered towards the West while entering a cut. Vessel 2 was traveling toward the East through the same cut when vessel 1 came into view. Vessel 2 turned to the South and traveled into the aquatic grass on the side of the cut. Vessel 1 was unable to turn to the West due to sliding from the step hull and therefore turned South. The aforementioned actions caused the vessels to strike side to side.
