RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 hit channel marker 11 southern Matlacha Pass  causing extensive damage to the starboard quarter where the impact took place. Damage to include fractured fiberglass where the hull and the cap come together. Railing from the starboard quarter through the stern area to the port quarter dismantled. No damage to channel marker observed. One (1) occupant - driver- suffered injury to mouth requiring several stitches, other occupants uninjured. 
  They were traveling southbound in Matlacha Pass toward Picnic Island at approximately 25-30 mph in calm seas with no visibility restrictions when OP1 suddenly made a hard turn to the left as they were passing close to a channel marker. As this turn to the left was made the starboard quarter area impacted the channel marker causing extensive fiberglass damage and somehow leaving OP1 with a bloody lip that he later had to have treated at a walk-in clinic. No further injuries were noted. 
  The marker was checked and found to have no damage so they proceeded to the Cape Coral Yacht Club boat ramp to pull the boat from the water. They stated that because there was no serious injury or damage to the channel marker that they did not understand that law enforcement should have been notified.
  I viewed a repair estimate for the vessel and it showed an estimate of $5555.20 to make all repairs.; OP1:Subject / operator of vessel had three (3) stitches put on his lower lip at a walk-in clinic. Subject / operator also has a loose tooth that is to be looked at in the future.
