RedactedNarrative: On June 12th, 2017 vessel 1 was heading toward a predetermined location to fish on the Hiwassee River and vessel 2 was also heading towards the same general location to fish. The two vessels were traveling around 60-70 mph in the same direction and once they realized they were going to make contact with each other they slowed down which resulted in vessel 1 making contact with vessel 2 at his back port side around the gas tank lid. 
  Vessel 1 had minor damage to his front port side, which resulted because he made an abrupt maneuver and changed directions moments before impact. There were no injuries and no passengers entered the water. Based on the investigation both of the two operators were at fault. This incident occurred due to lack of attention on both vessel 1 and vessel 2 operators.
