RedactedNarrative: Witness #1 stated to the effect: He was backing his boat into his slip with a female passenger when he hit the piling with the back of his boat. He must have thought he got stuck because he gave it more gas and pushed the piling over and it hit the other boat. People on the dock were yelling at him to stop. He appeared intoxicated.
  
  The owner of Vessel #2 stated to the effect (the following day over the telephone): I removed my boat from the water for the winter. The starboard and port side of my boat has scratches and scuff marks, a broken vent on the starboard and the pin stripe at the water line came loose. The piling he hit completely dislodge and was hitting my boat all night. My boat was tied off to the piling and since it came loose, the port side of my boat was hitting the piling on the other side.
  
  Upon arrival, the undersigned spoke with the witness and observed Vessel #1 backed in facing north in slip, to its left facing north was Vessel #2 in slip and in-between the two vessels was a dislodged piling leaning towards Vessel #2. The owners of both vessels were not at the scene at that time. The owner of Vessel #1 lives in the condominiums adjacent to the marina. The undersigned attempted to make contact with Operator1 at his residence with negative results. 
  
  The marina and condominiums are managed by Town and Country Association out of Red Bank, the undersigned will attempt to contact them about the property damage and a contact number for Operator1 during business hours.
  
  Investigation revealed: Vessel #2 was docked in slip facing north at Wharfside Manor Marina located in Monmouth Beach Borough, Monmouth County on the Shrewsbury River. Vessel #1 was attempting to dock by backing into slip adjacent to Vessel #2, when Vessel #1 struck the piling in-between the two vessels causing the piling to dislodge and hit Vessel #2 on its starboard side. The operator of Vessel #1 caused damage to Vessel #2 and property damage to Wharfside Manor Marina. Vessel #1's stern contacted the piling, but no damage was observed. Vessel #2 sustained damage to its starboard and port side due to the loose piling, which also caused its bow to swing back and forth. No injuries were reported. Both vessels remained at the scene after the incident.
