RedactedNarrative: Subject1 stated in effect: "He attempted anchoring about 50 yards off our starboard. He tossed his anchor in before stopping the boat.  He preceded to run over his own anchor line and get it caught up in his prop.  He got turned with his stern to chop. He couldn't figure out what was going on. He kept trying to run the boat but kept stalling.  He finally lifted up his motors to see the anchor line wrapped around his prop.  Meanwhile he's taking on water from the stern. After about 10/20 minutes we yelled for him to cut the line before he sank.  
  
  He then proceeded to call us everything under the sun and told me he'll cut his anchor line when he wants and would come over and kick our asses when he does.  After taking our advice and cutting his line, he headed south to get all the water out of his boat.  He then turned around and headed right at my boat.  He got approximately 20 feet away, cut the throttle and ran to the bow.  He proceeded to ram our boat with his bow.  It damaged my port motor, corner of the transom in two spots and extensive damage to the motor bracket.  I ran from the bow where I was fishing to push his boat off mine, he proceeded to curse and call us names then he took off and headed north. 
       
       Operator # 2 stated in effect: " I was out fishing and my anchor line got caught up in my prop.  I was trying to get it untangled and some guys on a boat near by were yelling all kinds of things at me.  I got the prop free and I went back towards the other boat. I approached it at the stern port side and we were having words.  I never touched his boat. If anything I may have pushed off. If I did hit his boat, I didn't realize it and I told him to go scratch and I got out of there.
