RedactedNarrative: On 4/1/2021, V1, a Pontoon Boat, was traveling south on the North fork of the St Lucie River. This area is a 25 MPH manatee zone. V2, a Personal Water Craft (PWC) was coming North around a curve. 
  The operator of V1 stated that they were traveling in the river, when the PWC went to turn around in front of them. He stated that it looked like the PWC was not being given power to complete the turn and struck the Pontoon. He stated he had seen the PWC in the area before going past them at around 60 MPH. He stated that he only has a 50 Horse power motor on the pontoon and it goes 15 MPH.
  During an Interview with the Operator and passenger of V2, They stated that they went around the curve at around 40 MPH, saw the Pontoon boat and turned to go back south in the river in front of the pontoon boat. I was advised that this PWC had a brake and slowed the vessel to around 10 MPH. When the operator tried to push the throttle to complete the turn, the PWC must have been stuck in neutral and did not have any propulsion to complete the turn. The passenger of the vessel jumped of the vessel prior to impact with the pontoon.
  V1 had damage to the front, port side Pontoon. The front metal was bent at a 90 degree to the port and a small hole was in the Pontoon above the water line on the inside of the pontoon. 
  V2 had fiberglass damage to the port mid section above the rub rail. There was paint transfer from the pontoon on the PWC below the rub rail of the PWC.
  Based on my investigation, V2 was being operated above the speed for the manatee zone and turned in front of the pontoon boat. Due to no off throttle steering, the PWC was unable to turn completely and hit the pontoon boat.
