RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was following vessel 2 on a recreational cruise. Vessel 2 began to accelerate from a stationary position and received a warning sound that a wing was deployed on the wake system. Vessel 2 pulled the throttle back to neutral to assess the situation. 
  
  Vessel 1 was under power to follow vessel 2 (they are neighbors and were together) and did not realize vessel 2 had slowed. Vessel 1 realizing too late that vessel 2 had slowed tried evasive maneuvers with reverse thrust and steering. 
  
  Vessel 1 utilizes jet propulsion with limited rudder and steering when not under power. Vessel 1 struck vessel 2 on the starboard stern with it’s prowl and keel. Vessel 1 broke the transom fiberglass, tore and broke seating, and struck the tow bar of vessel 2 above the head of the operator of vessel 2. Vessel 1 received minor scratches and a gouge in the prowl keel. The other occupants of vessel 2 were seated in the forward compartment/prowl area of vessel 2 leaving them with no injury. The boats disengaged on their own and both vessels were able to make it to devil''s step boat ramp and trailer without aid.
