RedactedNarrative: Operator2 stated that he was driving his boat while following another boat (2017 Skeeter/WY1047BC) through Black Canyon. While coming around a bend he noticed a ski boat towing a skier.  At about that time the skier fell and the ski boat put up their orange flag.  Both boats slowed down considerably as they went past the ski boat.  As he drove past the ski boat, Operator2 said he looked over at the ski boat and told the driver “they shouldn't be pulling people in the canyon”.  He said when he looked back at the direction of travel, he could not see the other boat because of his fishing chair located in the front of the boat blocked his view and he assumed they were very close to the other boat.  He said that the boat in front of him had almost stopped when he hit the rear of the other boat and caused his boat to stop. He said he then put his boat in reverse at the same time as the other boat pulling forward.  He then looked at the ski boat operator and told her “that this is why you shouldn’t pull skiers in the canyon”.  
  
  Operator2 stated that he thought his boat had been traveling going about 10-15 MPH when the accident occurred.  When asked how far he and the other boat had been from the ski boat when they passed it, he said between 30-50 feet.  
  
  The information Operator2 provided about the damage to his boat was consistent with the information received from the three passengers. There were no injuries to anyone on Operator2's boat and the passengers barely moved during the accident.  The only damage to Operator2's boat was to the gel coat over the fiberglass right above the bow eye.  There were also some minor scrape marks on either side of the keel.
