RedactedNarrative: Investigation Revealed:  Vessel #1 was underway, cruising southeast toward the Barnegat Bay in the area just to the south of the, Rt. 72 Bridge, Stafford Twp., Ocean County, NJ.  Vessel #1 was on a steady course heading east when Vessel #1 began experiencing a mechanical problem and the engine began to stall.   As a result, Vessel #1's throttle became fixed in the full position causing both Operator #1 and the occupant to be thrown to the deck resulting in Operator #1 losing control of Vessel #1.  Vessel #1 struck a dock on the north side of the lagoon with it's port side bow damaging the dock and breaking one of the pilings.  Vessel #1 then continued on crossing the lagoon to the south and impacted the bulkhead where it came to final rest.  Upon viewing the area of impact on the bulkhead it appeared to have caused minor damage to the bulkhead. Operator #1 and occupant were medically evaluated by Stafford Twp. First Aid. Operator #1 and the occupant both refused medical treatment on scene.  The owner of the vessel made arrangements with Tow Boat U.S. to have the vessel removed to their facilities.  A visual inspection of Vessel #1 revealed extensive damage to the vessel's bow.
