RedactedNarrative: On or about 1750 on august 5, 2017, a boat being operated by operator2 hit another boat.   Both boats started out pulling skiers in the same direction.   
  
  Operator1's skiers dropped into the water and operator1 then turned around to pick up the two skiers.  When operator1 got to his skiers, he stopped and turned off his boat's engine.  Operator1 then started to pull in ropes and get the two skiers aboard.  Operator2 was pulling a wake surfer.  Operator2 began looking back at the wake surfer and unknowingly turned the steering wheel which caused the boat to turn to the port.  Operator1 and his passengers observed the turning of the boat operated by operator2.   Operator1 and his passengers realized that operator2's boat was going to hit operator1's boat.   Operator1 started sounding the horn and all of his passengers started yelling and waving their arms to get the attention of operator2.   
  
  Right before operator2's boat  hit operator1's boat several of operator1's passengers jumped from the boat.  Operator1 moved to the bow and tried to yell at operator2.   Operator2's boat  hit operator1's boat on the port side gunwale causing operator1 to be thrown from the boat.  Operator1's boat was pushed sideways for a few feet hitting two people that had jumped from operator1's boat.   After impact, operator2's boat began sliding down the port side of operator1's boat causing damage to the port gunwale, roll cage tower, bimini top and attachments.  Operator2's boat had damage to the underneath of the bow along the ridge above and below the bow eyelet.   Operator2's boat's speed at the time of impact is estimated to be less than 10 mph.  Both boats had all their safety equipment.  Operator2 had been drinking, but was not impaired.  Operator1 sustained a minor back injury and did not seek medical attention.  No other inuuries were reported in this incident.
