RedactedNarrative: On June 11, 2021, I Game Warden was contacted by a man who inform me that on Saturday, May 29, 2021, at Holiday Marina in Hall County while he was away from his boat a friend/witness noticed that another boat that was backing out of an adjacent slip at Y dock collided with his boat. The driver didn't stop to look at any damage, he just loaded up a passenger and left Holiday Marina. 
  
  The witness did snap a picture of the boat that had left the scene and informed V2 owner about what it happened. V2 owner told me that he went and checked on his boat and that he found that the collision had caused damage to the cowling however he stated that there was some additional damage to the motor based on the sound coming from the motor. I told V2 owner to get an estimate and he told me he would. 
  
  On July 5th, 2021, V2 owner provided me an estimate from Singleton Marine for $3393.01. I told V2 owner I would use the picture provided by him of the vessel to try and track down who was driving the vessel that collided with his boat.
  
  On July 16th, 2021, I was able to track down the boat and where it was stored to Margaritaville Marina. I Spoke to Operator1 about the incident from May 29th. Operator1 at first was sure that he didn't hit any boat on that day but did admit that he had driven his boat to Holiday Marina to attend a boat party. I took Operator1 and showed him the picture taken by the witness. He told me he would call his buddy who was on the boat that day to speak to him about what happened. I later got a call back from Operator1. he stated that he spoke to his buddy and that he did indeed hit the boat his buddy had seen it but didn't tell him because he didn't think it had caused any damage. 
  
  On Aug 6th, 2021, I again met with Operator1 at Margaritaville, and he filled out a witness statement in it he stated on May 29th he was driving his boat when he accidently hit V2 owner's boat causing damage. I put Operator1 in contact with V2 owner by phone. Operator1 agreed to go to Singleton Marine and pay for the damages to the pontoon boat.  
  
  In conclusion on May 29th, 2021, operator1 was driving his 40ft Carver cabin cruiser and while trying to leave Holiday Marina Y dock he did hit a Harris 250 pontoon boat also parked at Y dock causing damage to the engine’s cowling along with internal engine damage. Operator1 didn’t realize he had hit another boat and left the scene.
