RedactedNarrative: Operator of vessel #1 had difficulty starting his vessel. Once he was able to get the vessel's engine to turn over he realized he had drifted too close to vessel #2 and attempted to avoid collision by turning the helm hard to the right. This action caused vessel #1 port aft quarter to make contact with vessel #2 starboard aft quarter. Vessel #2 sustained damage to the fiberglass hull. Operator of vessel #1 was cited for improper display of numbers and failure to notify/update listed address on vessel registration. Operator did not pay citation or appeal therefore a criminal complaint was issued.
