RedactedNarrative: On this date I was detailed to the area of the Deuville Inn in Strathmere NJ, for a vessel accident. Upon arrival I observed both vessels docked in front of the Deauville Inn. I spoke to Operator #1 who stated, in effect, "I had trouble with my throttle lever and the motor revved when I put it in gear, which caused me to hit the back of his boat." 
  
  There were no occupants on Vessel #2 at the time of the accident but the owner advised that he saw the incident. Subject  advised that he observed Operator #1 attempting to manipulate Vessel #1 while it was still moored to the dock, causing a cleat to be ripped from the dock before Vessel #1 struck his boat. 
  
  Investigation at the scene revealed Vessel #1 and Vessel #2 were  moored on a floating dock in front of the Deauville Inn in Strathmere, NJ. Both vessels were moored facing North with their starboard sides to the floating dock. Operator #1 manipulated his gear/throttle lever while moored. The engines engaged in to gear and revved high enough to pull the cleat from the dock that was holding the bow line. Vessel #1 then moved forward and the bow of vessel #1 made contact with the starboard side stern area and motor cover of vessel #2. No damage was observed or reported to Vessel #1 at this time. Vessel #2 sustained damage to the  fiberglass and gel coat on the starboard stern as well as paint transfer on the motor cover.
