RedactedNarrative: V1 was at drift fishing in St. Augustine inlet inside of the marked channel. V2 was under power traveling East attempting to exit the inlet in a congested area. V2 struck V1 on the stern starboard side causing fiberglass damage to the top portion of V1 and ripping off the swim platform. 
  
  Operator2 advised that he and his friend were attempting to exit St. Augustine inlet to start their trip to New Jersey. Operator2 said that the inlet was congested with boat traffic, and he had seen V1 fishing on the edge of the channel, but thought he had plenty of room to pass by. 
  
  Operator2 continued on his way, watching the other vessel traffic in the inlet, when subject shouted to watch out for that boat (V1). Operator2 turned hard to port in an attempt to avoid collision, while subject yelled for V1 to get out of the way.   Operator2 said that the metal bow portion of V2 hit the starboard stern of V1 causing damage to the vessel. Operator2 stated that V2 did not sustain any damage other that some paint transfer to the metal bow piece and was slightly bent.
