RedactedNarrative: On 7/5/2015 at approximately 4:00 A.M., V1 was traveling eastbound in Old River just west of the SeaSpray Condominiums with 8 persons on board. 6 POBs were sitting on the roof of the cuddy cabin and in front of the helm of the vessel. Soon after transitioning from a plane to cruising speed the vessel struck a dock ejecting four of the passengers out of the vessel and into the water. V1 continued eastward through a substantial portion of the dock before emerging back into Old River. The remaining occupants began rescue efforts for the ejected passengers and all were retrieved from the water and awaited the arrival of EMS personnel Witnesses on board, stated that all 8 people on board the vessel were in the passenger area of the vessel and eventually 6 of the passengers moved forward and sat atop the roof of the cuddy cabin and only the operator and another passenger stayed in the passenger compartment. 2 of the passengers sat to the port side of amidships, 1 sat on the anchor pulpit and 3 sat in front of the operator. 
   
  As the vessel traveled eastward, the operator accelerated the vessel from an idle speed to an estimated speed of 30 to 45 miles per hour, as determined by interviewing the passengers. The vessel continued eastward when one of the passengers sitting atop the cuddy cabin yelled "Dock!" "Dock!" One of the passengers stated the operator attempted an evasive maneuver steering toward the north and open water, but the vessel struck the dock despite those maneuvers. The vessel struck the dock to the starboard side of the bow and pushed a piling out of the path of travel. The piling on the opposite side of the dock was pushed over and nearly horizontal to the surface of the water. At one point, the vessel ramped over and unto the dock causing significant damage to the dock (approximately 24ft) before exiting back into Old River. As the vessel ramped up, four of the six passengers on the front of the vessel were ejected off of the vessel. The passenger in the occupant compartment struck the rear cabin bulkhead. After the vessel settled back into the water, those remaining on the vessel began rescue efforts for those ejected. 
  
  Escambia Fire Rescue and Emergency Medical Teams arrived on scene and transported 5 passengers to area hospitals. The operator refused medical treatment on scene but was transported by his mother into Alabama for treatment at a local hospital. The two remaining uninjured passengers were taken from the scene by the father of the operator. 
  
  On 7/5/2015 I conducted a boating safety inspection on the vessel and noted all of the required safety equipment was present and accessible. I did note the allround white light was not in place, the light socket was closed and the allround white light was stowed in the cuddy. Additionally, I noted 50 empty assorted beer cans and other alcoholic containers in the vessel.
