RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated that he noticed the other boat, traveling at approximately 35 mph, coming toward him and realized it was not turning.  At a distance of several hundred yards, he and other occupants of Vessel #1 began shouting, waving and sounding the horn to get the other boat operator's attention.  They saw the operator look at their boat and then turn the wheel.  As this was happening two of the occupants of Vessel #1 exited the port side to avoid impact.  During the collision, Vessel #2 pushed the port side of Vessel #1 into Victim #1 and Victim #2.  All passengers on Vessel #1 supported that statement.  
  
  Operator #2 stated that he was traveling west, at approximately 15 mph, near Sandy Hook.  He took his eyes off the water for several seconds during conversation.  When he looked ahead he saw the other boat in front of him.  He turned the wheel, but was unable to avoid collision.  
  Both passengers on Vessel #2 supported that statement.  
  
  Investigation revealed that Vessel #1 was adrift near Sandy Hook, with occupants engaged in recreational fishing.  Vessel #2 approached the starboard side of Vessel #1.  In an attempt to avoid being run over by Vessel #2, two occupants of Vessel #1 exited the vessel on the port side.  The bow of Vessel #2 struck the starboard quarter of Vessel #1, causing damage to the gunwale and motor.  The collision of the two vessels pushed Vessel #1 into the two occupants in the water, Victims #1 and #2.  Victim #1 reported back, shoulder and arm pain and was transported to Monmouth Medical Center, Long Branch, by Sea Bright EMS.  Victim #2 reported neck and back pain.  
  
  Operator #2 was issued summons for Failure to Maintain a Proper Lookout.
