RedactedNarrative: On August 20, 2016, at approximately 0945 hours, OPERATOR1 began launching a boat. While backing up, another vessel, operated by OPERATOR2, was waiting to pick up passengers in the main channel. OPERATOR2 was trying to move out of the channel. OPERATOR2 was perpendicular to OPERATOR1, and as OPERATOR2 pressed the throttle forward, the vessel "jumped" forward. This caused the vessel to crash into OPERATOR1. 
  
  The bow eye of OPERATOR2's vessel rammed into OPERATOR1 vessel, causing damage. I was contacted about the incident at around 1000 hours. 
  
  OPERATOR2 told me he had next to no experience on a vessel. He was helping his friend, who is the owner of the vessel.
