RedactedNarrative: Operator of Vessel #1 Stated to the Effect: I went in the wrong direction to dock my boat in the slip but it was occupied with another boat. I attempted to dock the boat in another slip, tried to put the boat in reverse, hit the gas, went forward and I struck the other boat.
  
  Investigation Revealed: Vessel #1 was underway on Lake Mohawk, Sparta, New Jersey traveling North. Vessel #2(unoccupied) was docked at Lake Mohawk Marina and facing East. Vessel #1 struck Vessel #2 on rear of outboard motor with Stern/Starboard side of Vessel due to operator #1 impairment and careless operation. Operator #1 impairment was the contributing factor of the Vessel accident and he was subsequently charged with BUI. As a result of impact Vessel #1 sustained minor scrapes to the Stern/Starboard side of Vessel and Vessel #2 sustained major damage to casing of outboard motor. Point of impact was determined by witness statement and partial casing debris located on Vessel #1. No injuries reported.
  
  Statement: I observed the vessel travel into the Lake Mohawk Marina on the opposite side of which people normally travel in from. The operator was driving erratic and appeared to be having issues driving the vessel. I then heard the operator throttle down hard on the gas and they hit another parked vessel. Once the operator struck the other vessel, he continued to struggle until they handlined the vessel into a slip.
