RedactedNarrative: Operator2 was driving the boat around 30 mph, going straight, then slowed down to close the windshield before speeding up again.  He thought he slowed down to 25 mph.  Just as he accelerated, he felt a “wham” and thought he might have hit something. He looked back and realized Operator1 had hit him with the jet ski.  No one was injured and they immediately went to shore in case the vessels were sinking. When they determined both would run and weren't taking on water, they went directly to the boat ramp and loaded them.
  
  They jet ski was behind and slightly to the side of the boat, but inside the boat's wake.  He estimated they were about 100 feet behind the boat, with both going straight.  The boat stopped suddenly in front of him. That's when they collided.
