RedactedNarrative: On September 26, 2021 at approximately 1050 hours, Vessel 1, a 1970, 47 foot, Piney Point cabin motorboat, with an operator and one occupant on board, was attempting to leave the Paradise Marina basin in North Fort Myers, Florida, when it struck a docked vessel, Vessel 2, a 1979 48 foot Jersey Boats cabin motorboat with two occupants on board.  Both vessels sustained minor damage.  There were no injuries.
  
  Vessel 1 was originally designed to be powered by twin inboard motors.  However, it had been converted to add an outboard transom and was powered by a single 300 hp outboard motor.  This single motor severely restricts the maneuverability of Vessel 1.
  
  After leaving his dock, OP1 attempted to make a 90 degree turn to port in order to leave the basin and enter the channel into the Caloosahatchee River.  OP1 claimed the vessel did not respond to his attempt to turn to port.  Additionally, though he attempted to reverse power, the momentum of the vessel continued to carry her forward.  Vessel 1 collided with Vessel 2, a docked 1979, 48 foot, Jersey Boats cabin motorboat.
