RedactedNarrative: Both boats left the dock with #2 Crownline following #1 Searay.  A short distance from the dock #2 Crownline overtook #1 Searay.  The bow of #2 Crownline ramped up over the starboard gunwale of #1 Searay, continuing over the passenger compartment, causing damage to the gunwale, canopy, stern light, and windshield.  The operator of #1 Searay sustained a broken nose.  His wife, in the port front passenger seat, received some minor injuries from broken glass, and a juvenile passenger seated behind the operator was struck on the head.  All received medical treatment at Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake.
  
  The operator of #2 Crownline said that he had left the dock following #1 Searay and was able to see the stern light for #1 Searay in front of him.  He said that he brought the boat up to planing speed then backed it down to approximately 20 mph and intended to follow the other boat.  He said he thought the other boat was moving and was quite a ways in front of him, but apparently the first boat has stopped or slowed in the water.  The operator of #2 Crownline said that he could see the light clearly over the bow of his boat and didn't think anything was wrong until he heard his wife start yelling.  He then realized that they were about to strike the first boat.
