RedactedNarrative: On Thursday April 7th, 2022, at approximately 2130 hours, I was on State Land Patrol in the area of Coconut Grove, FL, located in Miami-Dade County, when I received a call through dispatch regarding a boating accident. The incident occurred at approximately 1930 hours in Biscayne Bay, between Crandon Park and Stilltsville. 
  
  I called the reporting party/owner of (V2) to obtain preliminary information on the incident. He claims that as he was headed North from Stilltsville to Crandon Park in Biscayne Bay, his vessel, identified by FL Registration# FL 4825 GE as a White in color, 1989, 20 ft, Seacraft experienced a throttle issue, which forced the vessel to stop and Operator2 to assess the problem. As Operator2 was working on the issue in the back of his vessel, his friend in a nearby boat yelled over to him, alerting him that another, unidentified vessel (V1) was about to collide with his. 
  
  Operator2 stated that shortly after this, his vessel (V2) was struck head on by a larger, center console sportfishing boat (V1) equipped with 3 Yamaha Outboards, causing significant damage to his vessel. Operator2 stated that the unidentified vessel (V1) left the scene of the incident immediately and that its captain did not stop to assess the damages or Operator2’ condition. He then mentioned that his vessel started to take on water, and that he immediately knew he had to get it back to land. Once he brought it back to land, Operator2 trailered it back to his friend’s residence before reporting the incident to FWC.
