RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, September 27, 2014 this officer, Sgt., responded to the Deep Creek Marina rental facility for a reported property damage only boat accident. Upon arriving at the business, I made contact with Operator1 (operator of MD2618LB), Operator2 (operator of MD2576LB), passenger in MD2576LB and employee of Deep Creek Marina.
   
  Through my investigation, I learned that Operator2' and Operator1's vessels were being operated on Deep Creek Lake in the area of Deep Creek Marina's gas docks. V2 was backing away from the gas docks and Operator1 vessel was floating behind vessel2. The area was congested with three vessels at the gas docks and five waited to fuel. Operator2' failed to leave adequate distance between the vessels as they maneuvered in and around the docks. Operator1 realized the vessels were about to collide and attempted to take an evasive action by turning his vessel to the port side and accelerating. These movements caused Operator1's vessel to strike Operator2' vessel on the ladder attached to the vessel's swim platform. 
  
  The ladder was torn partially dislodged from Operator2' vessel. Operator1's vessel sustained significant fiberglass damage on the port transom. A two inch hole in the vessel's fiberglass was noted and photographed. Both vessels were owned and rented by Deep Creek Marine, LLC. Employee estimated the damage to Operator2' vessel to be between $500 and $1000. He estimated the damage to Operator1's vessel to be between $5000 and $10,000.
