RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated to the Effect:  I was stopped by the State Police boat.  I came up next to the boat and was fending off of the boat with my arm.  Then I gave my paperwork to the Trooper except for my registration.  After the Trooper went into the cabin of his boat I stood up and removed the seat to look in the compartment for my registration, and my wave runner went under the dive platform.  The Trooper returned my paperwork and gave me warning and I left.
  
   Operator #2 Stated to the effect:  We stopped the wave runner, calling him to us.  The operator appeared to be an inexperienced pwc operator.  While he was next to the Moose boat Trooper offered him a hand line to stay near our boat.  I was keeping the boat in near stationary position using the "Mouse" control.  I saw the operator get up from the seat/helm and began to look for his registration. Shortly after Trooper gave him his warning and he departed.
  
  Investigation Revealed:  Vessel #1 was traveling in a northery direction in the Auxiliary Channel east of Burlington Island,  Vessel #2(State Police Vessel) was traveling a southerly direction.  Operator #2 initiated a vessel stop and directed Operator # 1 to come near, along side Vessel #2.  While at the stop, Operator #1 was holding a hand line to stay near, along side Vessel #2.  During this time, operator #1 was fending off the Vessel #2.  Operator #1 then stood up, leaving the helm and lifted the wave runner seat to access the aft storage compartment to locate his vessel registration. It was at this time the wave runner drifted under the dive platform of Vessel #2. 
  
  After inspecting Vessel #2, I observed various locations under the dive platform that were tack welded, joining the various pieces of the aluminum together.  These welds are hemispherically shaped and would be consistent with the damage on Vessel
  
  #1.  
  NOTE: Damage from a previous collision with an unknown object is located on the black rub rail near the starboard bow. 
  
  Block #103(Other):  Operator #2 was using the Moose Boat's close quarters "Mouse" control to maintain a near stationary southerly direction.
