RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was headed East when it struck Vessel 2, who was engaged in fishing.  No injuries were reported, but significant damage was sustained by Vessel 2.
  
  At approximately 1800 hours, Vessel One was attempting to tow a wake-boarder in the southwest area of Lake Padgett. Vessel Two, located in the same vicinity, was adrift while (owner/operator) and his occupant were recreationally fishing.   
  
  The operator of Vessel One, Operator1, looked to the rear at his skier to ensure the line was tight while he accelerated the speed of the vessel.  (Vessel One contained approximately 1,000 gallons of water) When Operator1 accelerated the vessel’s speed, the bow was raised higher than usual due to the excessive weight inside the vessel.  Operator1 turned and looked forward; however, his vision was obstructed by the raised bow.    
  
  Vessel One’s speed did not exceed fifteen miles per hour, before striking Vessel Two.  Both occupants of Vessel Two jumped into the water to avoid injury.  The bow of Vessel One struck the starboard side of Vessel Two, causing Vessel One to “sit on top of” Vessel Two.  There was significant damage to Vessel Two.  Vessel One sustained minor fiberglass damage to the bottom of its hull.
