RedactedNarrative: On 4-21-2016 at approximately 1607 hrs, i received a call from communications in raleigh that a vessel incident had occurred at new river marina and i was given contact information to contact the alleged victim vessel.  
  
  I contacted v1 at approximately 1610 hrs. He told me that a vessel had gone past his vessel while he was trying to dock at new river marina and the vessel was displacing a significant wake he said close to four feet high and it caused his vessel to collide with the dock while mooring. 
  
  Operator1 was able to ascertain a picture of the vessel that i fowarded to marine fisheries that was located in the direction the suspect vessel was navigating.  My location at the time was 1 hour inland in kinston nc. Officer made contact with the vessel and secured me all the information i needed to make contact with them during my investigation.  
  
  I made contact with the victim vessel the morning of 4-22-16 at cedar point.  He gave me statements from two dock hands at new river marina and his wife that supported his statement he also completed a 4.1.  I observed the damage on his vessel and estimated it to be over two thousand dollars (2500-3500). The damage consisted of fiber glass damage and rub rail damage in two locations on the starboard side of the vessel.  It was apparent that the damage occurred from the vessel being pushed by a wake into the pylons located at the new river marina dock.  I then contacted the suspect vessel.  I made contact with him at radio island marina at approximately 1036 hrs. I took there statements and 4.1. 
  
  After gathering all the data, i have come to the conclusion based on all the statements, damage to the vessel, and my training and experience that the incident occurred due to the wake of operator2's vessel pushing operator1's vessel into the dock pylons located at the new river marina.  Operator2's vessel was navigating north up the icw and operator1s' vessel facing south was in the process of docking to the new river marina dock that runs parallel to the icw. Operator1 his wife and the dock hands all stated that the vessel operated by operator2 the “no plans no rules” vessel caused the wake that subsequently caused the damage.
