RedactedNarrative: V1 was traveling SE at approximately 20-25 mph, and V1's bow struck the starboard side of V2. V1 travelled partially over the gunnel and onto the deck of V2, and then back into the water. V1 then circled the area trying to recover a cooler that fell overboard upon impact. After recovering the cooler, V1 then left the scene. 
  
  	On May 28th, 2016, I Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was on patrol in Hillsborough County. At approximately 2116 hours I was dispatched to a hit and run boating accident at Circles Restaurant in Apollo Beach. While en route to that location, I was advised that the individuals suspected of operating the vessel involved in the accident had gone back to their residence. When I arrived at approximately 2153 hours, Hillsbourough County Sheriff's Deputies were already on scene. 
  
  	During a post Miranda interview with the vessel operator, I noticed that his speech was heavily slurred. He stated that he was the operator of the vessel and that he and his friend went to Circles for about an hour, and had a few drinks. He stated that when they were leaving Circles in the vessel, they "bumped" another boat, but did not think it was significant. They then circled the area trying to recover a cooler that had fallen overboard during the collision. After recovering the cooler, they returned to residence, which is on the water, and put the boat on the lift. Subject stated that he did not have anything to drink after arriving at his home, and the last time he consumed alcohol was at Circles Restaurant. 
  
  	After interviewing the operator, I looked at the vessel on the lift. It was a 1994 20' Sea Ray (FL3662HY) with a 225 horsepower outboard engine. I observed damage to the bow in several different places, as well as the anchor which is mounted on the bow, and the metal railng around the bow.
  
  	I then interviewed the passenger. During the post Miranda interview, he stated that they had both had a "few shots of tequila" at the restaurant. He also stated that they had "made mistakes." When asked what he meant by that statement, he said that he figured the police would be coming to talk to them because of the collision. He stated that while leaving the restaurant in the vessel, they collided with a vessel that was moored at a dock. He stated that they then circled the area attempting to recover a cooler that had fallen overboard during the collision. After recovering the cooler, they then returned home. 
  
  	At approximately 2314 hours, Officer and I went Circles Restaurant to look at the vessel that was struck, a 1977 30' Pacemaker Yacht sailboat (FL8744EX). We observed damage to the starboard side of the sailboat. There was fiberglass damage as well as the damage to the rail on the starboard side. The rail was completely broken in multiple places. 
  
  	I then interviewed a bartender at  Circles Restaurant, who said that the individuals were visibly intoxicated when they were walking towards their boat. When leaving the dock, they accelerated quickly, striking the sailboat going approximately 25 mph. They then circled, trying to recover a cooler, and while they were doing so, several patrons at the restaurant told them not to leave because of the collision and that the police were being called. Pictures were also taken of them while they were recovering the cooler. They then left the scene and returned to home. End of Narrative.
