RedactedNarrative: Watercraft #1 was taking off and traveling northbound from Rogers Resort harbor. Operator #1 witnessed boats on his right and left but did not see the boat directly in front of him (Watercraft #2). 
  
  Occupants of WC #2 started yelling, getting the attention of Operator #1, who then attempted to correct, however, still collided with WC #2. 
  
  WC #1 struck the bow on the starboard side of WC #2, breaking through the fiberglass bow and taking the trolling motor off of WC #2. WC #2 was not under power at the time of the incident. Operator #1 stated that he did not see WC #2 and believes it was due to his passenger sitting in the bow seat. All individuals were cleared by EMS and all denied any medical assistance or transport. Life jackets were being worn in WC #1 but not in WC #2. Alcohol was not a factor. There was damage to both boats, and WC #2 was a Total Loss.
