RedactedNarrative: At about 7:45 pm on September 25, 2019, operator1 and subject1 were heading east on the intercoastal water way near ocean isle beach.  While changing speed and direction attempting to maneuver into the canal that would take them home, holding an easterly course on the icw at approximately 10 miles per hour, another vessel approaching from the west overtook operator1's vessel by running over the stern and the port side of the vessel.  
  
  Operator1 was thrown into his steering wheel and center console where he broke his nose and obtained a seven stitch laceration.  Operator1's passenger was thrown down inside of the vessel where she sustained a concussion, bruising and small cuts to her left hand and ring finger.  Operator1 and subject1 stated that the vessel that struck their vessel looked like a contender occupied with four middle aged males.  
  
  Operator1 stated that his navigation lights were on and operational at the time of the incident.  The four individuals assisted operator1 and subject to their dock before heading back east on the icw.  Names and personal information were not exchanged at the time and the boat registration numbers were not visible.
