RedactedNarrative: On 7/4/2018, a 17ft Wellcraft Marine (V1) lost control of his vessel while trying to overtake another vessel and hit a dock in the area. This accident resulted in no injuries, roughly $1,000 in vessel damage, and $5,000-$6,000 in dock damage.
  
  The Operator was operating a 17 foot Wellcraft Marine open motorboat (V1) with a passenger on board and they were heading south out of Big Pass towards the Siesta Dr. Bridge. They were trying to get back to the 10th Street boat ramp in Sarasota. They were following a 40 foot yacht very closely at a high rate of speed. This area of Sarasota is very busy with vessel traffic and there is no slow speed zones which allows vessels to operate at a safe normal speed. The Operator advised he was operating his vessel at about 40 miles per hour. While The Operator was operating the vessel at an excessive speed while trying to pass the yacht on it's starboard side, very close to the docks in the area, the yacht's wake hit The Operator's vessel causing him to lose control of the vessel. The wake caused The Operator's vessel to maneuver into the shallow area near the dock where the collision occurred. During the collision, The Operator's bow and starboard side of the vessel hit a dock which caused the dock to collapse in the middle.
