RedactedNarrative: On 06/26/2021 Operator1 was operating a motor boat on Smith Mountain Lake near the Hardy area around 2350. Operator1 was the only person on his boat when he stuck a unmanned PWC.
  
  Operator1 was operating around 20 mph when he noticed a PWC in the water but was too close to avoid hitting the PWC. Operator1s boat struck the PWC on the right side near the back of the seat and ramped the entire PWC. Operator1 turned around and went back and looked for people in the water but could not locate anyone. Operator1 then returned to put his boat on the trailer to look for damage.
  
  The PWC was adrift and not in operation - it had gotten loose from its mooring.
