RedactedNarrative: Both vessels were anchored and fishing near one another. Vessel #1 weighed anchor and started its engine to return to shore. The operator of Vessel #1 opened the throttle and was getting on plane when he suddenly saw Vessel #2 directly in front of him - the operator attempted an abrupt starboard turn to avoid Vessel #2, but Vessel #1 struck the starboard side of Vessel #2 at an angle and ramped over Vessel #2. 
  
  The bow of Vessel #1 struck the forward passenger in Vessel #2 and ejected him from the boat - he came to rest off the stern of Vessel #2 face-up in the water but unconscious. Both occupants of Vessel 1 were ejected when their vessel returned to the water.  The bow passenger of Vessel 1 came to rest, unconscious and face down in the water.
  
  The center passenger of Vessel 2 dove into the water to rescue the bow passenger of Vessel 2.  The operator of Vessel 1 swam, towing the deceased towards Vessel 2.  The center passenger then re-entered Vessel 2.
  
  The unconscious passenger of Vessel 1, followed by operator were pulled into Vessel 2.  The operator of Vessel 2 called 911, weighed anchor and returned to the public boat ramp where a Dodge County Deputy was waiting.
