RedactedNarrative: V2 was moored at his slip at Cardinal Harbour Condominiums on the main bank of the Ohio River when it was struck from the rear by vessel1. This incident occurred in Oldham County, Kentucky. 
  
  V2 owner explained to me that his boat had been hit from the rear while it was moored in his slip and that extensive damage had occured. V2 owner showed me the vessel which by then he had pulled from the water and was sitting on a trailer, he also showed me the slip behind his home. The damage to V2 owner's vessel consisted of a bent bimini top, large scratches and holes to his engine cowling, scratches to his gel coat, a bent starboard rail, and damage to his swim platform.
  
  V2 owner stated that there were two witnesses to the incident, a maintenance man for the complex and his next door nieghbor. Witness #1 stated that he was down by the slips talking on his phone when he looked up and saw a large white boat coming towards the dock. It hit the stern of V2 owner's vessel and backed out a ways. He called loudly to the operator of the vessel to dock in one of the slips so that he could get his information. The operator of the vessel called out on a bull horn his name, phone number, and said he could not park in the slip. The vessel then left.
  
  Witness #2 who lives next door to V2 owner saw the incident from his balcony. He stated that he saw the boat hit V2 owner's boat. He thought the vessel to be a Carver about 27 feet long and White with a black top. He also stated that the vessel appeared to not have anyone at the helm at the time of the incident.
  
  On Wednesday July 30, I spoke with operator1 about the incident. He stated that he and a passenger were on the Ohio river when he went below deck to get a soft drink. Operator1 stated that his vessel was in neutral at this time. When he came back to the helm, he noticed that the wind had blown him close to shore and the boat slips. He put his vessel in reverse but was too late and struck V2 owner's vessel. Operator1 stated that he took pictures and did not think there was too much damage, only a few scratches to the engine cowling. Operator1 stated that he went to Cardinal Harbour looking for V2 owner on Monday July 28, and found the secretary to the complex to whom he gave his insurance information to. 
  
  I spoke with V1 occupant on July 30 about the incident. He stated that both him and Operator1 were below deck having a snack when they noticed out the port hole that they were dangerously close to the docks. Operator1 raced to the controls and turned the engines on to back away, but was too late. V1 occupant also said that he thought they had not done much damage when they left.
