RedactedNarrative: On Friday, January 3, 2020 at approximately 0830 hours, V1, while eastbound approximately 1.5 miles due east of Lake Worth Inlet traveling approximately 25 knots, struck V2, which was drifting with fishing lines deployed.  
  
  V2 was oriented with its bow facing approximately north.  The bow of V1 struck the port side of V2, approximately 3 feet forward of the transom.  V2 went underneath V1, with the port propeller striking the transom and outboard engines of V2.  
  
  After the collision, V2 capsized and remained at the surface.  The operator of V2 jumped from the vessel prior to the collision and was brought on board V1.  There were no injuries.
  
   I interviewed V2 SUBJECT, who indicated the following:
  -He had been drifting with fishing lines deployed prior to the accident
  -He looked over his shoulder and saw a large vessel (V1) at speed heading directly for his vessel
  -He waved his arms to attempt to get the attention of the operator of V1
  -V1 did not alter course or speed
  -He then jumped off the vessel to avoid injury
  -He heard the impact, then went underwater
  -V1 continued east for a short distance before turning around
  -He was brought on board V1 without injury
  
  I interviewed operator1 who indicated the following:
  -He was the operator of V1
  -He never saw V2
  -Due to the conditions, the clear plastic surrounding the helm for weather protection was covered in salt spray and the sun glare made visibility difficult
  -He was operating V1 at a speed of approximately 25 knots
  -As soon as he felt the impact from the collision, he reduced speed
  -He turned the vessel around upon seeing another vessel had been struck, recovered V2 SUBJECT, and made the distress call on VHF Channel 16.
