RedactedNarrative: On May 6, 2017 on Poplar Creek in Brunswick County, operator1 was operating his Yamaha pwc south bound along the bank. Operator1 claims that he was looking down to change some controls on his PWC when he noticed a red buoy straight ahead. He swerved right and ran into the right rear corner and motor of a 22 foot hurricane deck boat. 
  
  A witness observed Operator1 being ejected from his PWC and climb back onto it to assess the damage when the witness yelled over to him. The owner of v2 heard the noise of the crash and walked down their dock to investigate. There they exchanged information with operator1.
  
   The damage to the v2 22 foot deck boat was a crack in the lower cowling, scrapes in the fiberglass, a dented marine battery, as well as a broken transducer wire. Insurance estimated the damage to be over $2000.00 to fix. Operator1 provided pictures of the damage done to his PWC which consisted of considerable damage to the fiberglass hull and bow of the PWC.  The estimated damage of the PWC was over $2500.00.
