  Operator #1 Stated:  " I was backing out of the lagoon.  I began turning the boat around when the stern of the boat came close to the bulkhead, I got nervous and quickly gave it gas causing me to crash into the other boat."  Operator #1 also stated the boat is brand new and he had limited experience operating it.
  
  Accident investigation revealed: Operator #1 was backing out of the lagoon heading East, when he began to spin the boat counter clockwise in an attempt to turn the boat around.  Operator # 1 then proceeded forward in a rather abrupt manner crashing into vessel #2, which was docked behind the owners residence.  Vessel #1 sustained moderate damage to it's bow, specifically gouges/scratches in the fiberglass along with to the windlass/bow roller .  Vessel #2 sustained severe damage to it's portside, specifically large cracks and gouges in the fiberglass.  Vessel #2 also sustained damage (cracks and gouges to the fiberglass) on it's starboard side and to the center console.
  
  In conclusion operator #1's inexperience, throttle control of vessel #1 caused him to be at fault in this accident. No injuries were reported. Information for this report was provided by  operator #1 statement, damage to vessel #1, along with surveillance video from a residence and damage to vessel #2.
