RedactedNarrative: I arrived on scene and spoke with the victim. He said that while he was upstairs in his residence he heard a loud noise in the canal and observed a vessel's outriggers swaying back and forth behind his boat on a lift. He walked to the patio and as the vessel came into view he asked if the occupants of the vessel were okay which they responded yes and continued down the canal. Subject then pointed to the vessel and said that his neighbor witnessed the whole thing. He then pointed in the direction of a white center console down the canal (V01: SEA-VEE BOATS / 2005 / 29 F / WHITE / FL3823MY ). Subject's lift had bent cross beams and there was black transfer paint on the point of impact (documented with photos attached). 
  
  I then went to the alleged striking vessel. Both were on the vessel working on the starboard engine with the cowling off. I asked them if they were aware of why we were there. (owner of the striking vessel) claimed that they were leaving to go fishing and he was teaching Subject2 how to operate the vessel. They attempted to make a u-turn in the canal to head out and the starboard engine stopped working. They then impacted the victim's boat lift with their starboard engine. The starboard engine cowling had a piece missing approximately 4" x 1" (documented with photo attached). Subjects said they had no intentions of fleeing the scene (their residence is across the canal and two houses down). He said he had insurance and would cover all costs of damage.
