RedactedNarrative: On 06/13/2020 Vessel 1 (V1), a 1996 Maxum 2100 SR, was being operated by Operator 1 (O1) inside of Lewis and Clark Marina, Yankton County, South Dakota with one passenger (P1) onboard. At approximately 4:45 PM, O1 motored V1 northeast toward the dock. Moderate winds from the south created a cross-wind chop directly in front of the dock prior to and at this time. Several other vessels were in the immediate vicinity of V1 at this time.
  
  O1 attempted to pull V1 on to the south side of the middle dock. Vessel 2 (V2), a 2018 Harris pontoon, was pulled up against the north side of the middle dock. Because of V2's length, the stern extended out beyond the end of the dock. One passenger (V2P1) was inside V2 as it was being held against the dock with a rope by a witness.
  
  As O1 pulled V1 toward the south side of the middle dock, O1 noticed an unrelated vessel was backing away from shore between the middle and south docks. O1 terminated V1's forward motion and let V1 drift upon noticing the unrelated vessel in the way. The cross wind pushed V1 to the north directly toward the stern of V2. O1 noticed V1 drifting toward V2 and attempted an evasive maneuver. O1 accidentally thrust V1 into forward gear by forcing the throttle forward. V1's bow raised with the thrust and V1 traveled partially onto the middle dock and partially onto V2's rear starboard side deck.
  
  V1's bow impacted V2's rear starboard side deck and deck rail upon impact. V2's deck and deck rail were extensively damaged from the impact. V1 suffered only cosmetic paint and fiberglass damage on the bow area.
