RedactedNarrative: Vessel accident involving two vessels with injuries. 
  According to the operator of V1, he stated the following:
  1.	OP1 engaged the spot lock V1. 
  2.	While they were using spot lock, an unidentified vessel began encroaching close to V1. 
  3.	OP1’s brother, who is also the registered owner of V1, fended off the unidentified vessel to keep from hitting his. 
  4.	After doing so, OP1 stated both he and PAX1 were standing near the helm and were facing towards the stern of the vessel. 
  5.	OP1 stated somehow the spot lock became disengaged and he believes the vessel was drifting forward towards V2 however they were not looking forward. 
  6.	OP1 heard “look out” and when he turned around, he was making impact with V2. 
  V1 made impact with V2’s starboard quarter with its bow. V1 had enough momentum that it overrode the starboard side of V2. V1’s final position was sitting on top of the platform of V2. The port side bow of V1 made impact and caused damage to both Mercury outboard engines on V2. The Mercury engines left paint transfer on the port side bow of V1 (see attached photos). V2’s T-top was hooked onto the starboard gunwale of V1 and left several scratches on the gunwale.
  I spoke with Mr. PAX1 and he stated the following:
  1.	He helped fend off the unidentified vessel.
  2.	He was speaking with his brother near the helm. 
  3.	When they struck V2, Mr. PAX1 believes his brother put the throttles in the forward position and that is what caused his vessel to override the starboard quarter of V2. 
  4.	Mr. PAX1 noticed the T-top of V2 was hooked on his starboard gunwale and began trying to unhook it by hand. 
  5.	Once they were unhooked, Mr. PAX1’s brother put the vessel in reverse, and they backed off V2.
  I Spoke with all other occupants on V1, both listed female occupants were sitting in a seat facing the stern at the time of the accident, so they did not observe anything. All occupants aboard V1 did not report any injuries as a result of the accident.
