RedactedNarrative: The operator of vessel 02 stated they were making way, at approximately 7 knots, towards the headpin of Snake Creek when they observed a white center console (vessel 01) coming into the channel. The center console made several erratic maneuvers and collided with the port bow of vessel 02. I identified the operator of vessel 02. The owner of vessel 02 was not onboard the vessel. I asked all occupants of vessel 02 to provide a sworn written statement.
  
  I made contact with the operator and occupant of vessel 01 and asked him to explain what had happened. The operator stated he was heading into Snake Creek Channel at approximately 20-30 miles per hour, when he observed a blue vessel (vessel 02) on the side of the channel. The blue vessel (vessel 02) then made a sharp turn and hit their vessel (vessel 01). his vessel (vessel 01) was struck on the port side by vessel 02's starboard bow. I asked both occupants of vessel 01 to provide a sworn written statement.
  
  I took photos of both vessels and the damage caused by the collision.
  
  The damage on vessel 01 was located on the port beam of the vessel just above the waterline. The damage to vessel 02 was located on the port bow just above the gunnels. Vessel 01's damage was consistent with a vessel turning hard to starboard with the momentum of the vessel gliding through the water and striking an object. Vessel 02's damage was consistent with an object striking the port bow of the vessel on an angle and not dead on. 
  
  In addition, due to vessel 02 only making 5-8 knots and the vessel being a high displacement vessel. It is highly improbable, vessel 02 was able to make a sharp turn and come up on a plane to strike vessel 01.
