RedactedNarrative: On 7/11/2020 at approximately 1715 hours a 24-foot vessel bearing FL2504RG was docked at the most western dock at Mayport boat ramp in Jacksonville FL. This vessel shall be referred to as V1. The operator of V1 stated that a vessel bearing FL6795CU a 20 foot walk around was leaving the dock to load the vessel onto the trailer. 
  
  Operator1 stated that as V2 was maneuvering around V1 the starboard stern corner of V2 struck V1 on the starboard bow keel area and caused wrap damage and minor gel coat damage. 
  
  The operator of V2 left the scene shortly after striking V1. Upon interviewing Operator2 at his residence, Operator2 stated that V1 was docked with the bow facing east, and V2 was docked with the bow facing West. 
  
  Operator2 stated that he kept his fishing poles at the starboard corner of V2 with the tips laid over the gunwale pointing towards the transom. As Operator2 maneuvered V2 away from the dock and around V1 he heard the rod tips shake from catching the trolling motor mount of V1. 
  
  Operator2 stated that he did not feel contact between the vessels. Based on my training and experience, the damage to V1 is consistent with the positioning of the two vessels as described by the operators. Furthermore, the damage to V1 appears to have been due to the U-bolt located at the transom of V2.  With a lack of eyewitnesses and video surveillance my determination is based on the description of events from both operators.
